Cobbett, William.MareMagnum

COBBETT'S TWO-PENNY TRASH; or Politics for the Poor. Vols. 1 & 2.

Two volumes in one. A complete run of 24 parts covering July 1830 to July 1832, as issued (apparently no part was issued in March 1832. pp. [ii], 292; 288. Bound without the sectional title to volume 2 as usual. 12 mo. 195 mm. Bottom edge untrimmed. Original cloth backed paper boards; spine repaired. Hardbound. Very good. Manuscript ownership of William B. Young (?). William Cobbett (1763-1835) was an English pamphleteer, farmer, activist and journalist. Among his causes were: Reformation of Parliament and abolishing the rotten boroughs (which he hoped to end the poverty of farm labourers); he attacked the borough-mongers, sinecurists and "tax-eaters" relentlessly; he opposed attempts in the House of Commons to bring in Bills against boxing and bull-baiting he was against the Corn Laws (a tax on imported grain); although not a Catholic, he became a fiery advocate of Catholic Emancipation in Britain; etc. Early in his career, he was a loyalist supporter of King and Country: but later he joined and successfully publicised the radical movement, which led to the Reform Bill of 1832, and to his winning the parliamentary seat of Oldham. Following the passage of the Power of Imprisonment Bill in 1817, and fearing arrest for his arguably seditious writings, he fled to the United States (returning to England two years later). Cobbett's earlier newspaper, the Political Register (1812-1817)had been denounced as 'two-penny trash' - a name he gladly adopted for this later work. Through the seeming contradictions in Cobbett's life, two things stayed constant: an opposition to authority, and a suspicion of novelty. He wrote many polemics, on subjects from political reform to religion. "Cobbett is considered to have begun as an inherently conservative journalist who, angered by the corrupt British political establishment, became increasingly radical and sympathetic to anti-government and democratic ideals. He provides an alternative view of rural England in the age of an Industrial Revolution with which he was not in sympathy. Cobbett wished England would return to the rural England of the 1760s to which he was born. Unlike fellow radical Thomas Paine, Cobbett was not an internationalist cosmopolitan and did not support a republican Britain. He boasted that he was not a "citizen of world" saying it is quite enough for me to think about what is best for England, Scotland and Ireland." - Wiki. His style of agitation and general opinions have long been admired in America. Goldsmiths 37363 (one part only); Kress C.2481. Complete runs of Cobbett's 'Two-Penny Trash' are very scarce in today's marketplace. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! ENGLAND 6

Harwood’s Illustrations of London

In oblungo (21x13 cm); 31 c. di tav. compreso il frontespizio. Legatura editoriale in tutta tela marrone con titolo impresso al piatto anteriore in oro entro ricca cornice, anch’essa dorata, un piccolo difetto al margine basso della cerniera del piatto anteriore. Qualche macchiolina di foxing, un leggero alone al margine esterno bianco di metà delle carte, in parte alle prime tavole ed in parte alle ultime, mai intenso e per il resto, nel complesso, in discrete-buone condizioni di conservazione. Rara raccolta completa di tutte le vedute di Londra edite da Harwood. La tavola del Royal Exchange non segue la numerazione della legenda ma è posta all’inizio del volume all’interno della tavola che rappresenta il frontespizio dell’opera. Harwood, alla metà del XIX° secolo, pubblicò diverse raccolte di vedute dedicate alla Gran Bretagna come il Galles, l’Isola di Jersey, Guernsey, alla zona inglese dei laghi ed altre zone, per il mercato turistico. Le incisioni, sempre dal tratto fine e ricercato, erano disegnate ed incise, in genere, dal noto artista e stampatore inglese, Jhon Shury. Questa raccolta di vedute dedicate a Londra ed ai suoi più celebri monumenti venne realizzata intorno al 1850 (alcune tavole sono datate tra il 1849 ed il 1851). Fra i luoghi ritratti: Porto of London, Great Exhibition, Westminister Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Admiralty, Royal Exchange, Duke of York’s Column, New Hall, Windsor, Nelson Column, Hamton Court, Horse Guards, London fro Greenwich, Somerset House, British Museum, Birmingham Railway, Post Office, House of Parliment, Thames Tunnel, Italian Opera House, Bank. Guildghall. Mansion House, Tower of London ecc. Fra le tavole, molto interessante è quella dedicata al Tunnel sotto il Tamigi, un tunnel sottomarino che collega Rotherhithe e Wapping. L’opera che misurava 35 piedi (11 m) di larghezza per 20 piedi (6 m) di altezza ed era lunga 1.300 piedi (396 m), con una profondità di 75 piedi (23 m) sotto la superficie del fiume misurata con l'alta marea, era stata ideata per il passaggio di carrozze trainate da cavalli. Esso fu il primo tunnel noto per essere stato realizzato con successo sotto un fiume navigabile. La sua costruzione iniziò nel 1825 e terminò nel 1843 utilizzando una nuova tecnologia di scavo ideata da Marc Isambard Brunel e Thomas Cochrane. L’opera è una fra le meno comuni fra quelle pubblicate da Harwood e non è comune da trovare completa di tutte le tavole.
