Robertson and published in 1830. It is a collection of essays that discuss the economic issues of the time, particularly the causes of the national distress that was prevalent in Britain during the early 19th century. The author argues that the root cause of the distress was the misguided economic policies of the government, such as the Corn Laws and the Poor Laws, which led to high food prices and widespread poverty. He also discusses the importance of free trade and the benefits of a laissez-faire economic system. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of economic thought and the political economy of Britain during the early 19th century.With Appropriate Remedies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old or
