History of the Anti-Corn Law League

First Published in 1968. This second edition of the History of the Anti-Corn-Law League features a new introduction by W. H. Chaloner while the main text pursues the goal of cataloguing and archiving the timeline of events within the executive council. The beginning of 1848 saw workmen busily engaged in erecting the Free Trade Hall by which time it was supposed the Corn Law would be repealed. This remained standing, often used, until 1853, when its defeat showcased that the principles of free trade were fully recognized and the historical timeline for this edition begins.
