Great Manufacturing Towns and Sir Robert Peel Policy Debated
A dated long piece argues Peel’s administration harmed Sheffield and Leeds by Corn Laws effects. It recounts 1836 to 1842 trade decline, rising bread prices, and rising casual poor relief. It cites extensive local records, calls for policy shifts, and faults Peel for protecting a sliding scale while condemning industrial distress.

Monrth writes to Mrs Chapman declining to contribute to the Liberty Bell annual. He reflects on slavery in the United States, Cuba, and the south, urges that foreign interference complicates the issue, and argues that progress must be driven by American action and moral force. He praises abolitionist aims and hopes for the cause's success through reason and conscience.
