• In France after the Hundred Year's War rural districts were rapidly to their former prosperity. Inevitably the birth-rate rose, which resulted in an increase in the country population, as the towns, on the whole, did not grow fast enough to absorb the number increased. In France, where, traditionally, the property of a farmer was divided equally among his children, this population growth called into existence many peasants who could not make a living on land. The seventeenth century history may be interpreted as the process of providing these people with the necessary tracts of land. The growing interest of peasants in land wars not the only thing that mattered. Land also attracted townspeople whose very existence depended on money-making, and these, distressed at the remarkable fall in value of silver, sought a solution of their precarious position in becoming landowners. Land must now become the object of aspiration for two kinds of people at a time- one wanting to make a living on it, the other given to money-making. These two were associated in "fermage" -in its original form "metayage", not tenant farming in general, but form of tenancy centered round a "ferm". As this "fermage" strove to meet the demand of the age, it came to have a deeper connotation. It must be our present task to make clear how this happened. In the present article the nature of a "ferm" has been taken up in the first place. We then procceded to discuss how the building-up of such ferms brought about drastic changes in ownership generally, which in their turn revolutionized the structure of peasant population.
