Excerpt from Tracts Relating to the Corn Trade and Corn Laws: Including the Second Report Ordered to Be Printed by the Two Houses of Parliament The chief inducement to the following publication has been a desire that a practical view of the past and present state of the Trade in Corn may be taken by individuals who may not have easy access to the papers printed by the two Houses of Parliament. My former Report was reprinted in most of the daily journals, and circulated to a vast extent; but a few parts only of the Appendix were generally made known. In this second Report, the statements in the Appendix are of so much greater value than any composition of my own, and of so much greater value in a comparative view than those of my former Report, that no one can be fairly in a state to judge of the merits of the question which at present engages attention, and must always be of im portance, without having them at hand for the purposes of reference.
