This pamphlet contains the substance of a speech delivered by Charles C. Western in the House of Commons in May 1814, addressing the controversial Corn Laws. Western, later Baron Western of Rivenhall, was a prominent Member of Parliament known for his advocacy on agricultural issues. In this speech, he presents arguments related to the regulation of corn prices and the protection of domestic agriculture. This historical document offers insights into the economic and political debates surrounding agricultural policy in early 19th-century Britain. The Corn Laws were a series of measures enforced in the United Kingdom between 1815 and 1846, which imposed restrictions and tariffs on imported grain. Western’s speech provides a valuable contemporary perspective on the complexities and contentions surrounding these laws, which deeply affected British society and its economy. It is of interest to students and researchers studying British economic history, parliamentary debate, and agricultural policy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
