Excerpt from Literary and Scientific Repository, and Critical Review, 1822, Vol. 4: Nos. 7 and 8

Our readers perhaps will be struck with the want of accuracy in the statement of fins question; ahd the ambiguity in which it 33 involved may embarrass them in determining the precise object of inquiry; but we are soon informed that the means are parlia mentary interference, and that the resources are restrictions upon importation and exportation. We are induced 'to make these remarks, lest it might be su posed that physical circum stances entered into the merits of tie subject, and the successful cultivation of the earthformed a prominent feature in the scheme. This latter, though undoubted] y highly essential, yet can only oc cupy a secondary position in the scale of means and resources of France, as Frenchmen consider the maxim true, which the Emperor J ulian publicly recognised, that it is the duty of a sove reign to provide his subjects with food. We shall not now ques tion either the soundness of this principle in theory, or insist upon its emptiness in practice; but we cannot forbear to remark, that if the parental solicitude of sovereigns in this respect were less con snicuous, their people would often' be saved the necessity of ap p ying to them for bread - the pain of being denied it - or the mockery of their sufferings, in being fed with corn laws.

To save our readers trouble, we would cheerfully abridge the details of this law, but fearing that in so dcmg, we might mar the sense, we have determined to extract it entire.
