Book Description
Pamphlet in which Robert Southey addresses the attacks of William Smith against him. Rising to speak during the debate on the Seditious Meetings Bill on 14 March 1817, Smith had theatrically produced from one pocket a copy of Wat Tyler; from his other pocket, he pulled out the October 1816 Quarterly Review, with the page marked at Southey's article on parliamentary reform. After reading an excerpt from each, Smith then magisterially concluded: "It must remain with the government, and their legal advisers, to take what steps they might deem most advisable to repress this seditious work, and punish its author."

These ' reasonable con' siderations and causes ' were overlooked or disregarded in the next reign, and the government again took upon itself to appoint the rates of wages.-This continued till the fifth year of Elizabeth, when ' it was finally repealed, and its injustice fully _ acknowledged in these words: --' Although there remain and stand in force pre' sently a great number of acts and statutes, con' cerning the retaining, departing, wages, and orders ' of apprentices, servants, and labourers, as well in husbandry as in divers other arts, mysteries, and occupations, yet, partly for the imperfections and contrariety that is found, and do appear in sundry of the said laws, and for the variety and number of them, and, chiefly, for that the wages and allowance limited and rated in many of the said statutes, are in divers places too small, and not answerable to this time, respecting the advancement of prices of all things belonging to the said servants and labourers, the said laws cannot conveniently, without the great grief and burden of the poor labourer and hired man, be put in good and due execution.' Wages were, therefore, from thenceforward to be ' rated and proportioned ' by the justices, ' accord' ing to the plenty, scarcity, necessity, and respect ' of the times.'
