"The Land Hunger

"Eight years ago we wrote an open letter to the Press inviting readers to send letters and documents describing their memories and experiences of life in rural England under Protection. We received a large and remarkable response from the whole country, with the result that the volume now known as 'The Hungry Forties' was prepared and published. This volume was made up almost entirely of information voluntarily supplied by men and women who knew the difficulty of living in a time when Protection (Tariff Reform) and the Corn Tax still robbed the people.
