Pickering & Chatto, London, first edition thus, 1998. 6 vols, cloth, 8vo, 25 cm,. pp. William Cobbett (1763-1835) was a prolific writer, best known as the anti-radical founder of Cobbett's Political Register which ran from 1802 to 1835. As his views changed around 1804 he wrote more positively in the Radical interest, and was imprisoned for his attack on flogging in the army. He published the Parliamentary Debates (which later became incorporated into Hansard), a collection of critical writings on America, and numerous volumes of articles on economic and political events, agriculture, language and travel.
