However, Cobbett later changed the political alignment of the newspaper, embracing radicalism which alarmed the government who tried to prevent mass circulation by adding stamp duty on all newspapers. However, Cobbett responded by publishing the Register in a cheap 2d. pamphlet from November 1816, evading the stamp duty and increasing readership. This copy contains nine of these 2d pamphlets in their original form, rebound in a red cloth binding. In a red cloth binding with gilt title to spine, and plain paper dustwrapper.

4pp folio; some browning, old folds & creases. See Pearl 52. An unusual example in the larger format. The issue is entitled 'To the Reformers in General, and particularly to those, who have come forward, and are coming forward, at public meetings'. It begins: 'Gentlemen, The public efforts, which you have made, and are making, have, as we might reasonably expect, stirred the stomach of corruption to the very bottom, and she is now, through her well-known channel, through that press which has served her as a mouth-piece for so many years, vomiting forth the very bitterest and foulest portions of her gall. She does it, however, in agony. The sweat of terror pours down her face. Like Macbeth, she would pray to be saved; but "Amen, sticks in her throat;" and, if she has no other power, she seems resolved to lie and to curse to the last'.

Orig. blue cloth, blocked in blind, spines lettered in gilt; spines faded with ink mark on Vol. I. A good-plus set. Pearl 227. This collection was edited by Cobbett's sons John and James, from 100 volumes of his notes and articles that they had in their possession after his death. They write in the preface: 'On looking at the formidable row of volumes, we could not help asking ourselves "what is the use of the works in their present shape?" For, the fame of an author must depend upon the notoriety and usefulness of his works, and, as these hundred volumes cannot be had, and therefore cannot be useful in their present shape, we resolved upon making the attempt to bring into a very much smaller compass the essence of what they contain. For this purpose we mean to take the best papers on the most interesting topics, from the earliest of our author's writing to the last; and to bring them together in such a way, as shall make it an easy task to trace his whole literary career, and the political history of the time in which he has taken a part in politics.'.

Bookplate of Edward Nicholas Hurt to the front panel, with his signature to the title page and notes to the front free endpaper and verso. In very good condition. First editions are scarce, with the last copy appearing at auction was in 1948. James Cropper (1773â "1840) was an English businessman in Liverpool and philanthropist, known as an abolitionist. Successful in business, Cropper became the founder of Cropper, Benson, & Co., merchants, and made a personal fortune. He worked for the repeal of the orders of council which, up to 1811, restricting British commerce with the USA, He became an abolitionist, active against slavery in the Caribbean. He also was concerned at poverty in Ireland, made a series of visits there, and established cotton-mills. He also became involved with the port of Liverpool. English pamphleteer, farmer, and member of parliament William Cobbett sought relentlessly through his commentaries and weekly Register to end the poverty of farm labourers and reform the policies of the borough-mongers, sinecurists and "tax-eaters." Although initially staunchly anti-Jacobin, by 1804 Cobbett began questioning the policies of the Pitt government, especially the immense national debt and the profligate use of sinecures that Cobbett believed was ruining the country and increasing class antagonism. Hi journal soon became the main newspaper read by the working class, making him highly controversial figure in early 19th century England.
