3 Some of the largest estates used mainly rent; see for instance Indova, E. I., Krepostnoe khoziàĭstvo v nachale xix veka. Po materialam votchinnogo arkhiva Vorontsovykh (Moscow, 1955). Reference is made to the "Free Economic Society", p. 5, to other 19th century writers, pp. 5 sqq. The study is based on the archives of the Vorontsov family and portrays a very large system of estates, with tens of thousands of serfs and hundreds of thousands of det'iatiny. The modes of operation are described pp. 47 sqq., the rental system p. 178 sqq.Google Scholar

5 Also in the western German areas in general, bondage was uneven both in occurrence and in character, and its abolition stretched over long periods of time.

8 The exception was Franche-Comté, which had become part of the French kingdom at a late date; and even there, the vestiges of feudal mainmorte were far from amounting to genuine bondage. Cf. Millot, J., Le régime féodal en Franche-Comté au XVIIIe siécle (Besançon, 1937).Google Scholar
