By William Joseph Stourton Stourton

Book Overview

""Three Letters to the Earl of Liverpool, on the Distresses of Agriculture in the United Kingdom"" is a book written by William Joseph Stourton and published in 1822. The book is a collection of three letters addressed to Robert Banks Jenkinson, the 2nd Earl of Liverpool, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during that time. The letters discuss the severe economic and social challenges faced by the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom, including the impact of the Napoleonic Wars, the high cost of labor, and the decline in agricultural productivity. Stourton argues that the government needs to take urgent action to address these issues and proposes a range of solutions, including the introduction of protective tariffs, the reform of agricultural laws, and the establishment of a national agricultural bank. The book provides valuable insights into the economic and political climate of the early 19th century and sheds light on the challenges faced by farmers and agricultural workers during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
