Synopsis

""Three Letters to the Marquis of Chandos: On the Effects of the Corn Laws"" is a book written by Robert Torrens and published in 1839. The book consists of three letters addressed to the Marquis of Chandos, in which Torrens argues against the Corn Laws, a set of tariffs and restrictions on the importation of grain into England. Torrens argues that the Corn Laws are detrimental to the English economy, as they artificially inflate the price of grain and limit competition. He also argues that the laws are unfair to the poor, who are forced to pay higher prices for food. The book is considered an important work in the history of economics and political philosophy, and played a role in the eventual repeal of the Corn Laws 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.
