The complex and troubled relationship between protectionism and Conservatism in nineteenth-century Britain is the focus of this book. It looks at how the developing free-trade orthodoxy was challenged within Conservatism, and offers new perspectives on the intellectual controversies which precipitated the Conservative partys split of 1846 and the intricate denouement of 1846-52. In contrast to traditional accounts, it also seeks to explore the intellectual character of opposition to the evolving mid-Victorian consensus framed around free trade, laissez-faire and sound money, revealing how Conservatives debated key aspects of economic policy. Through an exhaustive reading of Conservative journals, pamphlets and contributions to parliamentary debates, the author is able to expose an alternative set of ideas about the direction of British economic and social change and the role of government in moulding it.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book grew out of my research as a graduate student at Nuffield College, Oxford. I would like to thank the Warden and Fellows of Nuffield for welcoming a historian of the early nineteenth century as a graduate student and for electing me to an Open Prize Research Fellowship in 1995. Without the unique intellectual resources and interdisciplinary climate of Nuffield this book would not have taken the shape it has. I will always remain indebted to the graduate students and research fellows who created the demanding and stimulating environment which moulded this book. I would also like to thank the British Academy for awarding me a Post-doctoral Research Fellowship in 1998 and the Master and Fellows of Clare College, Cambridge for the opportunity to pursue my interest in nineteenth-century economic discourse and in the British state beyond the boundaries of this book.
