A Letter To Sir Robert Peel, On The Condition Of England, And On The Means Of Removing The Causes Of Distress (1843)

""A Letter to Sir Robert Peel, on the Condition of England, and on the Means of Removing the Causes of Distress"" is a book written by Robert Torrens in 1843. The book is a letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel, the Prime Minister of England at the time, in which Torrens discusses the social and economic conditions of England during the mid-19th century. Torrens argues that the main cause of the distress in England at the time was the lack of free trade, which led to high tariffs and monopolies that prevented competition and innovation. He proposes that the solution to this problem is to adopt a policy of free trade, which would allow for greater competition and innovation, leading to increased prosperity for all. The book is divided into several sections, each of which addresses a different aspect of the condition of England. Torrens discusses the state of agriculture, the state of the manufacturing industry, the state of the labor market, and the state of the poor laws. He also discusses the role of government in addressing these issues and argues that government intervention is necessary to promote free trade and remove the causes of distress. Overall, ""A Letter to Sir Robert Peel"" is a comprehensive analysis of the social and economic conditions of England during the mid-19th century, and a call to action for the government to adopt policies that will promote free trade and remove the causes of distress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
