Originally published in 1932, this book presents a discussion regarding the socio-economic history of the Corn Laws.

First Published in 2005. A history of the English Corn Laws 1660-1846 is part of the studies in Economic and Social History series and looks at how the Corn Laws regulated the internal trade, exportation and importation and market development from the twelfth to the eighteenth centuries.

A chronological record of English corn laws from the Restoratin in 1660 to the repeal of the Corn laws in 1846. "An attempt is made in the case of each law passed and of each measure agitated to determine what social forces and classes favoured or opposed the proposal. The operation of the different laws, or groups of laws which made up a system, is also studied both from the point of view of contemporary opinion and from such statistics as are available for each period.--Author's preface.

The pamphlets, newspaper articles and tracts in this collection provide source material for the study of the Anti-Corn Law campaigns of the 1830s and 1840s and their role in the formation of popular economics in Britain. This set contains 6 volumes.
