The Letters of Richard Cobden Online

“Throughout his campaigns, Cobden used his personal correspondence as a key method of organising, persuading and sharing his own knowledge and experience, while also eliciting new information to help inform his speeches and pamphlets. His letters also give an insight into his private life, and the stresses and strains of agitation. The Letters of Richard Cobden (1804-1865) Online provides free access to digital transcripts of Cobden’s letters collected by the Letters of Richard Cobden Project, first established in 2002.”
