		In England the distribution of land among small holders was fettered by primogeniture, which has now given the soil of Great Britain into the hands of a few aristocrats and left the mass of the people in poverty, with scarcely space on which to stand.
		The township system would have been an impossibility in the South, where a single farm was often as large as a New England township; and farther south than Virginia several townships could have been put within a single plantation.
		In after-years the township system was partly introduced as the result of experience and convenience, so that Pennsylvania has a cross between the two, because the nature of the land, climate, and civilization makes the combination the best method, as the county alone is the best method farther south and the town alone farther north.
