William Cobbett was a important farmer and journalist of the 18th and 19th centuries. Political engaged, Cobbett was active anti-Corn Laws, those being the implementation of trade restrictions and tariffs on food. These laws would result in the rise in in living costs in Britain.
This particular work was written off of the back of this political engagement, with Cobbett taking it upon himself to inspect the British countryside for himself.
First published in serial form, the work was first published in book form in 1830.
An incredibly popular and influential work, this account of rural Britain in the 19th century offers a insight into the history of agriculture on in the country.
With the previous owner bookplate to the front pastedown that reads 'J'ai Bonne Cause'.
