jesty to be able fully to appreciate them." Indeed! What! too near to the select-vestry law, the new trespass law, the transporting-poaching law, the Irish transporting-with-jury law, too near to the dungeon law, and the famous six acts; too near to the Italian witnesses, to Castles, Oliver, Edwards; too near to Sidmouth, and Castlereagh, and Canning; too near to all those and a thousand other things and persons, "to be able fully to appreciate the advantages we derived from their mildness and beneficence!" Better to stop, I suppose, till we are got farther off; till names and dates are beyond the reach of all but a few; and till facts. become matter of dispute, instead of being capable of proof, such as to satisfy a judge and jury! Better stop, certainly, till the palace-building, the Irish starvation; till the 16th of August, till the 500 killed and wounded persons, and till the letter of thanks to the Yeomanry Cavalry, be all forgotten! Oh, no! MISTER PEEL, we will, if you please, not stop so long as this. We will, while the story is fresh in our memory, have it down in black and white; in order that those who are coming up to be men, may learn how to appreciate these acts of "mildness and beneficence," and may know how they ought to act their part on the stage, which is now, according to all appearance, going to be a very bustling one. WM. COBBETT.

THE COBBETT-LIBRARY. WHEN I am asked what books a young man or young woman ought to read, I always answer, Let him or her read all the books that I have written. This does, it will doubtless be said, smell of the shop. No matter. It is what I recommended; and experience has taught me that it is my duty to give the recommendation. I am speaking here of books other than THE REGISTER; and even these, that I call my LIBRARY, consist of twenty-six distinct books; two of them being TRANSLATIONS; six of them being written BY MY SONS; one (TULL'S HUSBANDRY) revised and edited, and one published by me, and written by the Rev. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN, a most virtuous Catholic Priest. I divide these books into classes, as follows: 1. Books for TEACHING LANGUAGE; 2. On DOMESTIC MANAGEMENT AND DUTIES; 3. On RURAL AFFAIRS; 4. On THE MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS; 5. HISTORY; 6. TRAVELS; 7. LAWS; 8. MISCELLANEOUS POLITICS. Here is a great variety of subjects; and all of them very dry; nevertheless the manner of treating them is, in general, such as to induce the reader to go through the book, when he has once begun it. I will now speak of each book separately under the several heads above-mentioned.N. B. All the books are bound in boards, which will be borne in mind when the price is looked at.

1. BOOKS FOR TEACHING LANGUAGE.

COBBETT'S ENGLISH GRAMMAR. (Price 3s.)-This is a book of principles, clearly laid down; and when once these are got into the mind they never quit it.

COBBETT'S FRENCH GRAMMAR (Price 5s.); or, Plain Instructions for the Learning of French.-More young men have, I dare say, learned French from it, than from all the other books that have been published in English for the last fifty years.

MR. JAMES COBBETT'S ITALIAN GRAMMAR (Price 6s.) ; or a Plain and Compendious Introduction to the Study of Italian.I would pledge myself to take this book and to learn Italian from it in three months.

2. DOMESTIC MANAGEMENT AND DUTIES. COBBETT'S COTTAGE ECONOMY (Price 2s. 6d.); containing information relative to the brewing of Beer, making of Bread, keeping of Cows, Pigs, Bees, Ewes, Goats, Poultry, and Rabbits, and relative to other matters.

COBBETT'S ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN, and (incidentally) to Young Women, in the middle and higher Ranks of Life (Price 5s.) It was published in 14 numbers, and is now in one vol. complete.

Mr. Cobbett's List of Books.

71

COBBETT'S SERMONS (Price 3s. 6d.)—More of these Sermons have been sold than of the Sermons of all the Church-parsons put together since mine were published.

COBBETT'S EDITION OF TULL'S HUSBANDRY (Price 15s.): THE HORSE-HOEING HUSBANDRY; or, A TREATISE on the Principles of TILLAGE and VEGETATION, wherein is taught a Method of introducing a sort of VINEYARD CULTURE into the CORNFIELDS, in order to increase their Product and diminish the com. mon Expense.

3. BOOKS ON RURAL AFFAIRS.

COBBETT'S YEAR'S RESIDENCE IN AMERICA, WITH A MAP (Price 5s.) A book very necessary to all men of property who emigrate to the United States.

COBBETT'S CORN-BOOK (Price 2s. 6d.); or, A TREATISE on COBBETT'S CORN: containing Instructions for Propagating and Cultivating the Plant, and for Harvesting and Preserving the Crop; and also an Account of the several Uses to which the Produce is applied, with Minute Directions relative to each mode of Application. This edition I sell at 2s. 6d., that it may get into numerous hands.

4. MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.

COBBETT'S PAPER AGAINST GOLD (Price 5s.); or, the History and Mystery of the Bank of England, of the Debt, of the Stocks, of the Sinking Fund, and of all the other tricks and contrivances carried on by the means of Paper Money.

COBBETT'S RURAL RIDES. (Price 5s.) If the members of the Government had read these Rides, only just read them, last year, when they were collected and printed in a volume, they could not have helped foreseeing all the violences that have now taken place, and especially in these very counties; and foreseeing them, they must have been devils in reality if they had not done something to prevent them.

COBBETT'S POOR MAN'S FRIEND (Price 8d.); or, a Defence of the Rights of those who do the Work and fight the Battles. This is my favourite work. I bestowed more labour upon it than upon any large volume that I ever wrote..

COBBETT'S EMIGRANT'S GUIDE (2s. 6d.); in TEN LETTERS, addressed to the TAXPAYERS OF ENGLAND.

USURY LAWS (Price 2s. 6d.); or, LENDING AT INTEREST; also, the Exaction and Payment of certain Church-fees, such as Pew-rents, Burial-fees, and the like, together with forestalling Traffic; all proved to be repugnant to the Divine and Ecclesiasti cal Law, and destructive to Civil Society.

5. HISTORY.

COBBETT'S HISTORY OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION in ENGLAND and IRELAND (Price 4s. 6d.); showing how that Event has impoverished and degraded the main Body of the People in those Countries: PART II. (Price 3s. 6d.); containing a List of the Abbeys, Priories, Nunneries, Hospitals, and other Religious Foundations, in England and Wales, and in Ireland, confiscated, seized on, or alienated, by the Protestant "Reformation," Sovereigns, and Parliaments.

AN ABRIDGED HISTORY OF THE EMPERORS, in FRENCH and ENGLISH: being a continuation of the HISTORY OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC.-This work is intended as an Exercise-book to be used with my French Grammar; and it is sold at a very low price, to place it within the reach of young men in general.

COBBETT'S HISTORY OF THE REGENCY AND REIGN OF GEORGE IV.-This work is published in Nos. at 6d. each, and shall do justice to the late "mild and merciful" King.

TWO-PENNY TRASH, published monthly, Price 2d., 12s. 3d. for a hundred, and 11s. a hundred if 300 or upwards.

This is the Library that I have created. It really makes a tolenable shelf of books; a man who understands the contents of which may be deemed a man of great information. In about every one of these works I have pleaded the cause of the working people, and I shall now see that cause triumph, in spite of all that can be done to prevent it.

N. B. A whole set of these books at the above prices, amounts to 71. Os. 2d.; but, if a whole set be taken together, the price is 67. And here is a stock of knowledge sufficient for any young man in

the world.

COBBETT'S

TWO-PENNY TRASH

For the Month of October, 1830.

TO

THE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES AT BOTLEY IN HAMPSHIRE.

On the conduct of their rich neighbours, and in particular of that one WILLIS (who is now called FLEMING), and who is one of the Members of that unfortunate County.

MY FRIENDS,

Kensington, September 30, 1830.

81. What I have to say upon the above subject, though addressed to you, is of equal interest to the working people in every part of the country; for, every-where there are to be found men of the same description as that of those on whose conduct I am about to remark, though, perhaps, in proportion to the population of the place, there are more of them to be found at and near Botley than in any other part
