Poster, 375 x 260 mm. This item may have at some time been mounted and will bear traces on the reverse of adhesive or removal of mounts. Samuel Birch [1757 - 1851] served as Lord Mayor of London 1814 - 15 and although a Tory he opposed the Corn Bill of 1815 and at the meeting referred to here, of the livery at common hall, made a vigourous attack upon the intended prohibition of the free importation of foreign corn. The course he took on this occasion is commemorated by a medal struck in his honour on the obverse side of which is the bust of the lord mayor, and on the reverse a representation of a wheatsheaf, with the legend, 'Free Importation, Peace and Plenty.' Although reported widely in the press at the time I can find no other separately printed contemporary record of this speech.
