Conclusion
Abstract
The conclusion ends the book by bringing together the themes and questions it has explored but also looks to the ways in which questions of property, possession and keeping hold are very much eighteenth-century questions. The conclusion looks to how ‘lost property’ was dealt with in the nineteenth century and sees a different set of practices and institutions at play.
