Prior to its publication in 1830, the draft of this work by Sir
Henry Parnell, later Baron Congleton (1776-1842), was praised by
John Stuart Mill, who said he could 'not see that it is possible to
lay down the principles of political economy more broadly'. Chair
of the select committee on public income and expenditure during the
Duke of Wellington's first ministry, Parnell called for greater
retrenchment and reduced taxation. He also argues here that 'the
passage of merchandise from one state to another ... ought to be as
free as air and water', denouncing the supporters of protection as
'among the greatest enemies of mankind'. A later pamphlet by
Parnell, A Plain Statement of the Power of the Bank of England
(1832), highly critical of the Bank's monopoly, is included in this
reissue. His Treatise on Roads (1833) is reissued separately in the
Cambridge Library Collection.
