This book is the second installment in a comprehensive treatise on British Customs, international trade, and contraband traffic from 1801 to 1855, chronicling how the British Customs system was gradually reshaped by the ideas of Adam Smith.

The authors examine the impact of alterations in corn laws on grain prices and food security, and analyze the profound and tragic consequences of the resulting food shortages.
