Lancashire's Lessons: Or The Need Of A Settled Policy In Times Of Exceptional Distress is a book written by W. T. M. Torrens in 1864. The book discusses the economic and social impacts of the Lancashire cotton famine, which was caused by the American Civil War and resulted in the closure of many cotton mills in Lancashire, England. Torrens argues that the government's response to the crisis was inadequate and that a more settled policy was needed to address the needs of the working class during times of exceptional distress. The book provides a detailed analysis of the causes and effects of the cotton famine and offers recommendations for future policy changes to prevent similar crises from occurring. Overall, Lancashire's Lessons is an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by working-class communities during a time of economic and social upheaval.A Letter Addressed To Charles Pelham Villiers, President Of The Poor Law Board.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
