The Speech of Lord Erskine in the House of Lords, the 8th of March, 1808, on Moving Resolutions Against the Legality of the Orders in Council (1808) is a book that contains the full text of a speech made by Thomas Erskine, a prominent lawyer and politician, in the House of Lords in 1808. In this speech, Erskine argues against the legality of the Orders in Council, which were a series of trade regulations imposed by the British government during the Napoleonic Wars. He contends that these orders violated the principles of free trade and were detrimental to the British economy. The book provides a detailed analysis of Erskine's arguments and sheds light on the political and economic context of the time. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British trade policy and the legal and political debates of the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
