The Anti-Corn Law League was in effect the resumption of the Anti-Corn Law Association, which had been created in London in 1836 but did not obtain widespread popularity. The Anti-Corn Law League was founded in Manchester in 1838. Richard Cobden and John Bright were the two principal figures of the movement while George Wilson, the president of the League, was in charge of administrative duties. Joseph Ivimey, the Superintendent Registrar for St Pancras, was an active member and acted as the League's solicitor.
The aim of the league was the abolition of the Corn Laws, and this was obtained in 1846. After this was achieved, the league challenged protectionist practices in the United Kingdom. The aim was to establish a fully free-trade economy in order to decrease the price of basic food products (such as bread and agricultural produce), to support the performance of agriculture and industry, thus to weave stronger commercial bonds—supposedly the guarantors of peace—with the other nations.
This is Volume I of II.
Originally published 1853.
