Important considerations upon the act of the thirty-first of George II. relative to the assize of bread : wherein are introduced, several experiments that have been made on the manufacturing of wheat into bread : with the exorbitant profits made by the cornfactor, mealman, miller, and baker ; and the many abuses the public (and particularly the poor) have laboured under, since the passing of that act, and the repealing the assize table in the act of Queen Anne ; --the reasons why it passed, and remedies pointed out : and which are humbly submitted to the consideration of the legislature.
