		The 
		Battle for Native Industry.&nbsp; The Debate upon the Corn Laws</i> 
		contains the proceedings of the British Parliament for 1846 as they 
		pertain to the Corn Laws.&nbsp; The Contents of Volume II gives a good 
		representation of the scope of the debates in both the House of Commons 
		and the House of Lords.&nbsp; The Duke of Wellington, Earl Fitzwilliam, 
		Lord Brougham, Lord Stanley among others in Lords and Sir Robert Peel, 
		Misters Newdegate, Clerke, Finch, Fellowes, Disraeli, Hawes in the 
		Commons.&nbsp; Both the debates and the thirty year history of the <em>Laws</em> 
		provide an excellent case study for protectionism, free-trade, 
		resource distribution, and social change.<br>
          &nbsp;</font></p>

		Frederick Robinson first introduced the Corn Laws to Parliament in 1815.&nbsp; 
		Even at that time there was vigorous protest.&nbsp; The Corn Laws 
		limited the import of grain until the domestic price reached a certain 
		level.&nbsp; While protecting the domestic growers, the Laws resulted in 
		a sharp rise in food prices.&nbsp; In 1828, 1832, and 1841 the Laws were 
		reformed, but that did not meet the demands of the populace.&nbsp; The 
		Corn Laws gave rise to organized movements such as the Anti-Corn Law 
		League whose work contributed to eventual repeal and served as a model 
		for subsequent social movements.&nbsp; The 1846 repeal of the Corn Laws 
		under the government of Sir Robert Peel followed the start of the Irish 
		potato famine.</font></p>
