Proposals to ease famine price distress in plain terms
The piece sets out a series of 18th century proposals to reform land use and pricing, including capping pasture and arable holdings at 300 acres, forcing cultivation of waste lands, opening borough and town lands for general use, limiting grain storage to 100 quarters, and enforcing open markets with weighmasters and juries. It includes an anecdote about Sir Paul Pasha in Constantinople illustrating harsh governance and the need for decisive remedies to curb monopolies and price abuses.
