Book Overview
""Three Letters to the Marquis of Chandos: On the Effects of the Corn Laws"" is a book written by Robert Torrens in 1839. The book is a collection of three letters addressed to the Marquis of Chandos, in which Torrens discusses the impact of the Corn Laws on the British economy. The Corn Laws were a series of tariffs and restrictions on imported grain that were designed to protect British farmers from foreign competition. However, Torrens argues that these laws were actually harming the economy by driving up the cost of food and reducing the purchasing power of the working class. He also argues that the Corn Laws were inhibiting the growth of industry and international trade. The book is a significant contribution to the debate over the Corn Laws, which would eventually be repealed in 1846.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
