Description and Table of Contents

Description

The "Key Issues" series aims to make available the contemporary responses that met important books and debates on their first appearance. These take the form of journal articles, book extracts, public letters, sermons and pamphlets which provides an insight into the historical relevance and the social and political context in which a publication or particular topic emerged. Each volume brings together some of the key responses to the works. The original material surrounding the repeal of the Corn Laws (1846) has remained difficult to find. This volume provides access to key Parliamentary documents (such as the speeches of Richard Cobden, Charles Villiers and others, and Peel's repeal legislation), pamphlets and speeches of the Anti-Corn Law League, and a number of contemporary documents on the anticipated effects of repeal by Torrens, McCullough, Porter, Pennington and others.
