In 1767 he undertook on his own See also:account the management of a See also:farm in See also:Essex. He engaged in various experiments, and embodied the results of them in A Course of Experimental See also:Agriculture (1770). Though Young's experiments were, in See also:general, unsuccessful, he thus acquired a solid knowledge of agriculture. He had already begun a See also:series of journeys through See also:England and See also:Wales, and gave an account of his observations in books which appeared from 1768 to ,77o--A Six See also:Weeks' Tour through the See also:Southern Counties of England and Wales, A Six Months' Tour through the See also:North of England and the See also:Farmer's Tour through the See also:East of England. He says that these books contained the only extant See also:information relative to the rental, produce and stock of England that was founded on actual examination. They were very favourably received, being translated into most See also:European See also:languages by 1792.
In 1768 he published the Farmer's Letters to the See also:People of England, in 1771 the Farmer's See also:Calendar, which went through a See also:great number of See also:editions, and in 1774 his See also:Political See also:Arithmetic, which was widely translated.

Traversing that See also:country in every direction just before and during the first movements of the Revolution, he has given valuable notices of the See also:condition of the people and the conduct of public affairs at that See also:critical juncture. The Travels in France appeared in 2 vols. in 1792. On his return See also:home he was appointed secretary of the See also:Board of Agriculture, then (1793) just formed under the See also:presidency of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Sinclair. In this capacity he gave most valuable assistance in the collection and preparation of agricultural surveys of the See also:English counties. His sight, however, failed, and in 1811 he had an operation for See also:cataract, which proved unsuccessful. He suffered also in his last years from See also:- STONE

See also:Arthur Young was the greatest of all English writers on agriculture; but it is as a social and political observer that he is best known, and his Tour in Ireland and Travels in France are still full of See also:interest and instruction. He saw clearly and exposed unsparingly the causes which retarded the progress of Ireland. He strongly urged the See also:repeal of the penal See also:laws which pressed upon the Catholics; he condemned the restrictions imposed by Great See also:Britain on the See also:commerce of Ireland, and also the perpetual interference of the Irish See also:parliament with See also:industry by prohibitions and bounties. He favoured a legislative union of Ireland with Great Britain, though he did not regard such a measure as absolutely necessary, many of its advantages being otherwise attainable.
The See also:soil of France he found in general See also:superior to that of England, and its produce less.' Agriculture was neither as well understood nor as much esteemed as in England. He severely censured the higher classes for their neglect of it. " Banishment (from See also:court) alone will force the See also:French See also:nobility to execute what the English do for See also:pleasure—reside upon and adorn their estates." Young saw the commencement of violence in the rural districts, and his sympathies began to take the See also:side of the classes suffering from the excesses of the Revolution. This See also:change of attitude was shown by his publication in 1793 of a See also:tract entitled The Example of France a Warning to England. Of the profounder significance of the French outbreak he seems to have had little See also:idea, and thought the crisis would be met by a constitutional See also:adjustment in accordance with the English type. He strongly condemned the mitayer See also:system, then widely prevalent in France, as " perpetuating poverty and excluding instruction "—as, in fact, the ruin of the country. Some of his phrases have been often quoted by the See also:advocates of See also:peasant

proprietorship as favouring their view. " The magic of property turns See also:sand to See also:gold. ' " Give a See also:man the secure See also:possession of a See also:bleak See also:rock, and he will turn it into a See also:garden; give him a nine years' See also:lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a See also:desert." But these sentences, in which the epigrammatic See also:form exaggerates a truth, and which might seem to represent the possession of See also:capital as of no importance in agriculture, must not be taken as conveying his approbation of the system of small properties in general. He approved it only when the subdivision was strictly limited, and even then with great reserves; and he remained to the end what J. S. See also:- MILL

The See also:Directory in i8oi ordered his writings on the See also:art to be translated and published at See also:Paris in 20 volumes under the See also:title of Le Cultivateur anglais. His Travels in France were translated in 1793—94 by Soules; a new version by M. Lesage, with an introduction by M. de Lavergne, appeared in 1856. An interesting See also:review of the latter publication, under the title of Arthur Young et la France de 1789, will he found in M. See also:Baudrillart's Publicistes moderns (2nd ed., 1873).
