Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of William Cobbett, Late M. P. For Oldham To write the biography of an individual so eminent in all the relations of life as was the lamented subject of the present memoir, is a task beset with difficulties of no ordinary character. The extraordinary events of his career are closely connected with, and in fact belong to the history of his country. Elevated by his own mental energies, from almost the lowest grade in society, to a station of distinguished eminence, we cannot but wonder at and extol the man who, bursting resolutely through every obstacle that would have opposed and intimidated men of less intrepidity, placed himself in that exalted sphere which won for him the love and confidence of his friends, and tho admiration of those, even, who were most strongly opposed to him in political opinions. Some few, indeed, have dared to accuse him of political inconsistency - of deserting the Tory party to espouse the cause of their most violent opponents, and of having, in fact, written, during the latter period of his life, to contradict and falsify the opinions he had formed in his less mature age. But let such persons attentively consider the different positions in which Mr. Cobbett has thus found himself placed. In youth and early manhood he was a Tory, for the self same reason that he afterwards became a stern and uncompromising Radical Reformer - a veneration for his country, and an ardent desire to see her constitution preserved from the wicked designs of those who would have destroyed, while they affected to improve it.
