Synopsis

Excerpt from Influences of the Corn Laws, as Affecting All Classes of the Community, and Particularly the Landed Interests In offering the following remarks to the public, on a subject which at the present moment deservedly attracts so much attention and excites so much interest, I am fully aware of the difficulties by which it is surrounded, which have been increased in no small degree by the determined and often violent spirit in which all parties have conducted their arguments; and, in consequence of which, society may be said to be now divided into two great sections, having equally, deeply-rooted and extravagant prejudices on this important question. Disclaiming any participation or fellowship with the popular views on either side, uninfluenced by any private or party considerations, prompted only by a desire to arrive at a just and true view of so important a question as the supply of the first necessaries of life must ever be, I have approached the subject without reference to the generally existing opinions, and carefully endeavoured to consider it simply on its own merits.

Product Description

Excerpt from Influences of the Corn Laws, as Affecting All Classes of the Community, and Particularly the Landed Interests

To those, therefore, who are in search of argu ments for the purpose of supporting the partial views of either side, which have hitherto prevailed, I can hold out no encouragement to take the trouble of perusing the following pages: they will not there find one single word declaiming the land owners as selfish, monopolizing law-makers, or the manufacturers as sordid, avaricious beings, grasping at the riches of the great, and treading on the rights of the poor: the subject has already been handled too much in this way.
