Advice to Young Men and (Incidentally) to Young Women (Esprios Classics)

William Cobbett (9 March 1763 - 18 June 1835) was an English pamphleteer journalist Member of Parliament and farmer born in Farnham Surrey. He and a popular agrarian faction argued that reforming Parliament abolishing rotten boroughs restraining wanton foreign activity and increasing wages would promote domestic peace and ease the poverty of farm labourers and smallholders. He backed lower taxes saving reversing enclosures of commons and resisting the gold standard of 1821. He sought an end to borough-mongers sinecurists and tax-eaters (overpaid sometimes corrupt bureaucrats public servants and stockbrokers) and dismissed British Jews in a typecast by the same token.
