Letter to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Melbourne on the Cause of the Higher Average Price of Grain in Britain than on the the Continent

"Letter to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Melbourne on the Cause of the Higher Average Price of Grain in Britain Than on the Continent" by Sir George Grant Suttie is a book analyzing why grain costs more in Britain than in other European nations during the 1800s. The author examines reasons beyond just limited supplies caused by trade control, suggesting that taxes and how much workers are paid have a big impact on prices. Suttie uses information from Britain and places like Prussia to disprove the idea that British farming is worse. He argues workers produce more crop and take home larger earnings. The author urges lawmakers to carefully rethink laws about agriculture and trades so that local farming production and food availability are kept stable.
