Synopsis

""Letters on the Corn Laws and on the Rights of the Working Classes"" is a political treatise written by H. B. T. in 1835. The book is a collection of letters that were originally published in a newspaper, and they are addressed to various individuals and groups, including politicians, landowners, and workers. The letters argue against the Corn Laws, which were protective tariffs on imported grain that were designed to benefit British landowners. H. B. T. contends that these laws were harmful to the working classes, who were forced to pay higher prices for their food. The book also advocates for the rights of the working classes, arguing that they should have a say in government and that their welfare should be a priority. H. B. T. criticizes the wealthy landowners and politicians who he believes are neglecting the needs of the poor. The book is a passionate call to action for social and political reform, and it was influential in the movement for workers' rights in 19th-century Britain. Overall, ""Letters on the Corn Laws and on the Rights of the Working Classes"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles and injustices faced by the working classes during this period.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
