Calendar and commentary on harvest politics in 1848 Britain
The item blends an 1848 calendar showing sunrise and sunset calculations for Great Britain and Ireland with religious notes and parish deadlines. It then moves to critique Mr. Benett and Sidney Herbert, arguing that Corn Laws repeal would harm tenants and farmers, and that ministers trend toward free trade is risky for the economy. The piece questions the farmers’ plight and laments political fog about tariff policy.
