Travels in France by Arthur Young, 1792
I was joined by a poor woman who complained of the times. Her husband
had only a morsel of land, one cow and a poor horse. But they had to pay
20 kg of wheat and three chickens as feudal dues to one lord, and 60 kg of
oats, one chicken and five pence to another, along with very heavy taxes to
the king's tax collectors. "The taxes and feudal dues are crushing us."
. 8. Why were the peasants taxed in so many ways? TO PAY FOR
THE OTHER ESTATES TO LIVE IN LUXURY
9. What tone does Mr. Young have toward this woman? How do you
know this? LHE FEELS SORRY FOR HER; YOU CAN SENSE HE THINKS
THE TAXES ARE UNFAIR BASED ON HIS VOCABULARY
10. What do you think is the meaning of "morsel" in the excerpt. Explain
your answer. A SMALL AMOUNT- HE IS REFERRING TO THE AMOUNT
