The recent progress of the Free-Trade Movement in Belgium

Abstract

On a previous occasion I had the honor of reading to the Society a paper on the Brussels Free Trade Congress and the International Association which sprang out of it. I now propose briefly to indicate the progress, very encouraging I think it is, which the free trade movement within Belgium, and as especially affecting its national interests, has made since the foundation of the "Belgian Association for Customs Reform" on the 20th January, 1856.
