Excerpt from The Life of William Cobbett, Author of the Political Register I returned once more to the plough, but.i. Was spoiled, for a farmer. I had, before my Portsmouth adventure, never known any other ambition than that of surpassing my brothers in the different labours of the field: but it was quite otherwise now; I sighed for a sight of the world; the little island of Britain seemed too small a compass for me.. The things in which I had taken the most delight were neglected; the singing of the, birds grew insipid; and even the heart-cheering cry of the bounds, after which I formerly used to y from my work, bound o'er the fields, and dash through the brakes and coppices, was heard with the most torpid indifference. Still, however, I remained at home till the following spring, when I quitted it, perhaps for ei er. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of William Cobbett in England America, Based Upon Hitherto Unpublished Family Papers In writing an account of the life of Cobbett, it is very easy to yield to the temptation to follow him into the innumerable questions in which he was interested, but I have endeavoured to avoid this pitfall, and to tell a straightforward story. It has, indeed, been my object to allow Cobbett to tell his story in his own words, and with this object I have drawn freely upon his corres pondence.

Excerpt from William Cobbett, Vol. 1 of 2: A Biography The following pages need no Preface, with regard to their subject. I am unwilling, however, to let the work go forth to the public without a renewed word Of thanks, to those who have given me any sort Of encouragement or assistance. My acknowledgments are especially due to the vene rable daughter of Mr. James Swann, for the use Of some letters; to the author Of the Handbook Of Fictitious Names, without whose apt teaching in the art of Biblio graphy, the work might have wanted the interesting appendix; to Mr. Job Swain, one Of the last survivors Of cobbett's personal friends, for some reminiscences; and to Mr. Ellis Yarnall, Of Philadelphia, for copies of several letters, and for some suggestions which have enabled the author to throw additional light on the Porcupine days.

Excerpt from William Cobbett: A Study of His Life as Shown in His Writings The object of this work, as has been set forth in the title, is to portray the life and character of William Cobbett, with the assistance chiefly of the materials to be found in his writings. Besides writing several fragmentary autobiographies, Cobbett had the habit of illustrating his disquisitions on politics, on finance, or on agriculture, with personal references and reminiscences which, collected together, would fill several volumes. These autobiographical treasures are to be found in all of his works, though not everywhere in equal abundance. Moreover, they are usually sudden excursions with little in the context to indicate their presence to the seeker. His Political Register, for instance, is particularly rich in references to his past life, but in order to discover them it is necessary to examine more than seventy volumes page by page. As much the same process is necessary in regard to his other works the task is one of some magnitude, for Cobbett was probably the most prolific writer whom England has known, with the exception of Defoe. Perhaps the number of Cobbett's writings, in addition to the ephemeral interest of many of them, is a reason why they are now so little read.
