Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Richard Cobden, M. P : And the Anti-Corn-Law League During a recent period of confinement by illness, the recollection of my early intercourse with Richard Cobden, and with the affairs of the Anti-Corn-Law League, were frequently and vividly crossing my mind; and, at length, I concluded to commit to writing some account of the proceedings in which I had been engaged, in order that my sons and daughters who are now living, and who at the time I have indicated were mere children, might derive some interest from a review of the stirring events of the period referred to. The narrative which I prepared, was shown to my friend Sir Thomas Bazley, Bart., M.P., and he expressed gratification to find that I had succeeded in placing on record many of the details of a struggle of national importance, the remembrance of which was in danger of passing away; and he strongly advised that I should arrange the subject in chapters, extend it, and allow it to be published. To this I have consented, and in offering it to the public, I desire to apologies for any apparent display of egotism, which, however allowable in a communication addressed to one´s own family, is hardly so pardonable when addressed to the public generally.
