Book synopsis

Excerpt from An Enquiry Into the Causes of the High Prices of Corn and Labour, the Depressions on Our Foreign Exchanges and High Prices of Bullion, During the Late War What follows may be considered as an illustration of the opinions which I submitted to the public, in a Tract on the subject of the alledged depreciation of our currency, and with allusion to our corn laws, in the beginning of the year 1811; with a view to shew the fallacy of the doctrine then maintained of a depreciation of our currency, countenanced by Report of a Committee of the Honourable House of Commons, as well as by the opinions of several respectable writers. And the opinions which I there expressed, contradictory to this theory, in which I attributed the high price of bullion to its true cause, the high premium on foreign bills of exchange, having been since fully confirmed by the experience of the period from the date of my former publication to the present time, I have been led to resume the subject, with a view, chiefly, to contribute my services, towards extricating our agricultural interest from that dangerous and critical situation into which the extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances, in which the country was placed during the late war, followed by the sudden and unexampled depression of the prices of farm produce, since the peace, have brought them; as well as, in justice to the endeavours I made on the occasion above alluded to, to open the eyes of my countrymen, and dispel the prevalent delusion.
