FIRST EDITION. “Stung by the previous year’s poor harvest, advocates of free trade published this collection to assist the administration, warn the people and instil in them some economic principles, with a view to preventing a further food shortage. All these letters are therefore merely a plea and a demonstration of the necessity for complete freedom of trade in grain and the abolition of all monopolies.” (INED, 3202). Some surface wear and wormholes; the interior is intact. ED
