"A century ago, when every known route was beset with its own dangers, the risks in the "Country Trade" were especially numerous, and it is difficult now to even believe, much more to realise, the vicissitudes to which a ship was liable in the 17th and 18th centuries from the time she left her anchorage under the friendly protection of the guns of old Bombay Castle... Pirates, cosmopolitan, Indian, Arab, even English, cruised the Arabian seas. The Straits of Malacca teemed with fierce cut-throats; the Gulf was a standing menace. These dangers were real." - From Preface. Contents clean, bright and unmarked, possibly unread. Tight and square. Light wear to white and blue cloth-covered boards. Bright silver lettering upon spine. Book

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

214 pages including bibliography. Our economic future is dictated by the Federal Reserve. Jacque Rueff was aware of this fact when he alerted the West to the Fed's plot to control the free world's economy. So repugnant was this knowledge that it precipitated an economic war between our Fed and the world's central banks. To avoid a crisis - nationalization - the Fed and its Complex engaged America in a horrendous hoax: a war of containment (Vietnam), a war on poverty (the Great Society) and a war on gold (the London gold pool). Today's recession is the first stage of another misdirection conspiracy that will again attempt to make it possible for an international complex to wrest control of America's economy. Ridiculous, you say? Then read the proof! Publisher's stamp inside front cover. Library stamps upon each edge of textblock else unmarked. Binding sound. Moderate to average wear. Good working copy.

Probabilmente prima edizione di uno dei piu' popolari calendari marinari inglesi della quale non abbiamo trovato riferimenti bibliografici o vendite. Houzerau-Lancaster n 15489, lo dichiara apparso dal 1727 al 1749. Sotheran n 4772 e 19929 ha edizioni posteriori, difettose, a caro prezzo e nulla riferisce circa una prima edizione. Purtroppo esemplare mediocre e scompleto. Mancano 4 carte (da pag. 9 a 16). Rifilato e macchiato con strappetti e vecchie note ai margini a causa dell?uso a cui era destinato. In ogni caso accettabile per la sua eccezionale rarita'. Il Census nazionale Opac SBN non registra alcun esemplare nelle biblioteche italiane. Manca a tutta la bilbiografia che abbiamo consultato.[f50] Libro
