Postscript to the Author on Ireland Corn Bill
A London letter praises Ireland’s Corn Bill as a remedy against future scarcity, noting a premium for corn brought to Dublin within fifteen miles, and argues the law serves both Dublin and the broader British economy. It critiques misperceptions in Ireland toward Britain, warns against party manipulation, and cites historical lessons. Additional notes report bills on seamen wages, live cattle imports, a suicide in White Horse Alley, and naval movements from Portsmouth to Newfoundland.
