When we compare, as usual, the French Revolution with the Restoration of 1868 (in Japan) concerning the question of the quesetion of the land, it has been thought that the former makes a thorought solution of it, on the contrary the latter is incomplete. By studing synthetically the premise of the question of the land in France and the process of its development, I confirm that its solution of Fronce is also incomplete. Especially by showing the fact and inevitability with the remains of aristocratic land-ownership in France and estimatng the hight indemnities for the emigres, I conclude that the settoement of a Samurai caste with indemnities and the remains of properties of peers in Japan after Meiji have no graund to maintain to be the "absolute" quality in the social system. The French Revolution is regarded in the same light with the Restration of 1868 in Japan with respect to the co-existence of the great land-owners and small ones, the remains of land-owners and tenants, and the remains of the great properties of peers. So on the ground of the question of the land, I cannot affirm for the Frech Revolution to be the typical bourgeois revolution and the Restoration in Japan to be the establishment of absolutism.
