Book Description
Excerpt from A Second Letter on the Corn Laws: To the Manchester Chamber of Commerce Gentlemen, In the former letter I addressed to you on the subject of the Corn Laws, I endeavoured to state as clearly as I could the general outline of the question; but I did not dwell upon particular points so much as perhaps the importance of the subject requires. This arose partly from being pressed in point of time; partly from the want of documents necessary to enable me to give greater weight to my statements; and partly from feeling that a short chapter, like a short speech, wherein the main principles are laid down, was more likely to attract general attention than one in which those principles were carried out at greater length to their natural conclusion.
