The Story of Richard Cobden: The Hero of Free Trade is a biographical account of the life and achievements of Richard Cobden, a prominent British politician and advocate of free trade in the 19th century. Written by Frances E. Cooke and originally published in 1904, the book traces Cobden's life from his humble beginnings as a farmer's son in Sussex to his rise as a successful businessman and influential political figure. Cobden was a leading member of the Anti-Corn Law League, which campaigned for the repeal of tariffs on imported grain and other agricultural products. His efforts were instrumental in the passage of the 1846 Corn Laws, which helped to stimulate economic growth and improve the standard of living for many people in Britain. The book provides a detailed portrait of Cobden's personal and political life, including his friendships and rivalries with other prominent figures of his time such as John Bright and William Ewart Gladstone. It also explores his views on various social and economic issues, including education, women's rights, and international relations. Overall, The Story of Richard Cobden is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most important figures in the history of British politics and economics. It offers valuable insights into the life and work of a man whose ideas and achievements continue to influence debates about free trade and economic policy to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
