At this time great discontent had been excited among the people by the high price of corn ; but the only measure taken by the Government to remedy the evil was to lay an embargo on the exportation of English corn, and to allow the free importation of foreign corn during a period of three months. The labouring classes are described as being so independent of spirit that nothing short of sheer 184 LONDON THROUGH necessity would induce them to work. When driven by actual want, they attacked their ...tasks like madmen ; choosing rather to toil with all their might, and to rest themselves from time to time, than to pass a whole day gently and easily in their employment. " The perfection of handicraft and the love of liberty in the lowest class of artificers, " continues M. Grosley, " contribute equally to render English manufactures very dear. In vain has the State attempted to diminish this excessive dearness by laying such heavy taxes as render it impossible for them to have money beforehand : they enter into associations, they refuse to work, they revolt and obtain an increase of their wages when the latter become insufficient to enable them to live as usual ; and this is always a great burden on trade.
