RICHARD COBDEN,

THE APOSTLE OF FREE TRADE.

A BIOGRAPHY.

BY JOHN McGILCHRIST,

AUTHOR OF “THE LIFE OF LORD DUNDONALD,” ETC.




“The admirers of Mr. Cobden will be more than satisfied with this beautiful volume, for it gathers together all the best and most remarkable utterances of a man likely to be quoted in yet distant days. . . . A suitable gift to be put into the hands of a young man on his entrance into life.”—News of the World.

“The narrative is so condensed, and the style at once so clear and vigorous, that the volume is eminently entitled to a popular circulation. . . . We trust that it will find its way to the book-shelves of thousands of working men.”—Morning Star.

“Full of most interesting matter, and is evidently the result of no small industry and discrimination. The mind of Cobden, as it gradually developed itself, is unfolded before us, and the volume brings to a focus many most interesting expressions of the deceased statesman’s views.”—London Review.

“Gives a good general idea of the public career of one of the most remarkable men of our epoch, and will therefore repay perusal.”—Weekly Dispatch.

“Those who wish to know something of Richard Cobden, will find instruction and interest in the book.”—Reader.

“The ‘get up’ of the book is very creditable; good paper, clear type, capital photographs, one of which—a portrait of Cobden—is worth the price of the book itself, and binding a model of simplicity and good taste.”—Melbourne Spectator.

* A Cheap Edition for Working Men is just ready, price 2s.
