His first pamphlet was published in 1835 and his last in 1862. This collection was published two years after his death, and was regularly reprinted on both sides of the Atlantic well into the twentieth century. Volume 2 contains Cobden's later writings. With a background of war in the Crimea and the United States, his emphasis shifts from advocating free trade to the need to promote international treaties and co-operation. In his final work, The Three Panics, he is able to use the experience gained while negotiating a commercial treaty with France to highlight the folly of the anti-French hysteria that still frequently erupted in Britain.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 580gAuthor: Richard CobdenGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Political Writings of Richard Cobden 2 Volume SetRelease Year: 2011
