Although the Anti-Corn Law league played a most important part
in the politics of the 1840's, there is no modern study of its
activities and organization. Based on several years work on the
original sources, as well as papers belonging to George Wilson,
President of the League for most of its life, this book sheds light
on the internal history and organization of the League.
Written from a political perspective, Dr McCord describes the
origin, organization and activities of the League, together with
its effect on the contemporary political scene, and as such, fills
an important gap in our knowledge of the political history of early
Victorian England. At the same time, the book provides an analysis
of an unusually well-documented political pressure group, making it
a most welcome addition to literature for historians and economic
historians, as well as students of political science.
This book was first published in 1958.
