She demands from her noblest sons their intellects, their energies, and, if need be, their lives; but She is not ungrateful. The men who have guided her destinies live in grateful memory and in memory the more honoured if to great service and lofty aims they have added disregard of self, direct ness of purpose, and Simplicity of character. Such men become household words of the nation. They create the standard by which the nation measures itself, and by which it is measured. They strike the keynote Of national character. Such a man was Richard Cobden, a type of a great Englishman to Englishmen Of all times, a type in his truthfulness, in his Simplicity, and in his devotion to the welfare Of his countrymen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Richard Cobden, Vol. 1 of 2 Owing to various circumstances, with which I have no right to trouble the reader, the publication of these volumes has been delayed considerably beyond the date at which I hoped to bring them to an end. As things have turned out, the delay has done no harm. My memoir of Mr. Cobden appears at a moment when there is a certain disposition in men's minds to subject his work and his principles to a more hostile criticism than they have hitherto en countered. So far perhaps it is permitted to me to hope that the book will prove \0pportune. It is possible, however, that it may disappoint those who expect to find in it a completely furnished armoury for the champions of Free Trade. I did not con ceive it to be my task to compile a polemical hand book for that controversy. For this the reader must always go to the parliamentary debates between 1840 and 1846, and to the manuals of Political Economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Cobden and the Free Traders Stuarts; and no doubt long before that time the periodical recurrence of popular distress had led to changes in the regulations by which food was introduced from foreign countries. In the seventeenth century, however, not to go any further back, these regulations had become frequent, if not systematic, and Parliament constantly undertook to modify them as occasion required. But the principles on which the modifications were based appear to have been uncertain and capricious. The ports were closed to foreign grain (as in 1680) when wheat was enormously dear, and Opened (as in 1690) when the home production had largely increased. With the ports Open, bounties were paid to exporters of corn. Between 1715 and 1765, only five harvests are recorded as having been notably bad ones; more than four millions sterling were paid in export bounties 5 and simultaneously the excess of imports over exports were very considerable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Mission" Of Richard Cobden IT is long since there left the world any one who deserved so well of it as Richard Cobden. To say this is indeed, in one sense, to say but little. For the acts of those who have had it in their power to in uence the destinies of mankind, mankind has in general small reason to be grateful. In account with humanity, the public characters have been few indeed who could point with satisfaction to the credit side. But of Cobden's career there are results which none can gainsay. Vast, signal, and comprehensive, they disarm alike both competition and criticism. The two great triumphs of his life were the Repeal of the Corn Laws and the Commercial Treaty with France. Of these, the first gave food to starving millions, redressed a gigantic and intolerable abuse of politicalpower, saved an empire from revolutionary convul sion, and imparted new and irresistible impulse to material progress throughout the world; the second carried still further the work which the first had begun, insured, sooner or later, its full consum mation, and fixed, amidst the waves of con icting passions and jarring interests, deep in the tenacious ground of commercial sympathy, a rock for the foot of Peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cobden and Modern Political: Opinion Essays on Certain Political Topics But the advantages of anonymous political and literary criticism far outweigh the disadvantages. So much do they outweigh them that one regrets that, of late years, the world has been informed about many of the persons who write for, and nearly all those who manage, the London press. But if such writing ceases to be anonymous, it will either lose its liveliness, or engender strong personal animosities. Few Englishmen would, I imagine, care to see the system of the French press introduced among us, with its brag, its mendacity, its malignity. It is one thing to be attacked by a system, a company, a joint-stock proprietary, another to be always jostling against a man who gets his living by disparaging your reputation, and distorting your utterances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fact Versus Fiction: The Cobden Club's Reply to Mr. Chamberlain IN his recent campaign against the fiscal and commercial policy which has guided British statesmen for the past sixty years', Mr. Chamberlain has seldom spoken with out references to the Cobden Club, and he has frequently attacked the principles and misquoted the opinions of Mr: Cobden. Mr. Chamberlain was for fourteen years, until 1892, an eminent member of 'the Cobden Club, the chief speaker on two occasions at its annual gatherings, and the proposer at one of them of a toast to its foreign members, all of them honorary members, including many of the most distinguished economists in Europe. He has lately asserted that the Club is supported by the money of these foreign members in the interest of their own countries, and against that of Great Britain. He has been informed that foreign members are only honorary members, that they do not pay subscriptions, or contribute to the funds of the Club, and that they have no voice in its councils. He has, how ever, declined to withdraw or substantiate his untruthful statement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The India Council: Written for the Cobden Club It is but due to the Council to state that it is in no way to blame for the secrecy and irresponsibility of its proceedings. It is also due to those Interested in India to assert that although theoretically the Council has no power, except that of advising the Secretary of State for India, yet there are so many changes of this official (from 1878 to 1882 there were no less than four different Secretaries of State, three of whom were new to the office), that practically the administration of India rests with the Council, who, as already named, is responsible to no one - not even to the Secretary of State, Parliament, or public opinion. In the nature of things it is impossible that during the existence of this Council burning questions should not have arisen, leading to strong ex pressions and variations of opinion. Yet a case has never been known of a member resigning in consequence of a policy being sanctioned which he thought inimical to the interest of India. How very different with the men who are the ultimate repositories of power in this country; for during the same period how often have members of Parliament, to whom the: emoluments of office were a consideration, sacrificed both position and emoluments rather than continue in a Cabinet whose proceedings they could not approve. This exemption from responsibility has far more serious consequences than at first sight appears, as it is unreasonable to expect that Parlia ment can hold a Secretary of State responsible for acting upon the advice of a Council he never elected. Were either of these parties, in the strict sense of the term, responsible, and bound to report their proceedings for sanction in the same manner that the Cabinet did before the Egyptian finance arrangements were finally settled, it is quite inconceivable how sanction could have been obtained for the purchase, in 1869, of the Elphinstone Land and Press Co., Bombay, for rupees per share, when the selling price was 330 rupees; or for the purchase, in 1870, of the East India Irrigation and Canal CC. For with to as a bonus, whilst the works were unsaleable in the open market at It may safely be said that none of the gentlemen who represented India in these two transactions would have entertained for one moment such a transaction on their own account. We know the exact loss which the empire has sustained through these two transactions, but we cannot estimate the injury which India daily sustains by the confused statements presented (it is but fair to presume by the sanction of the Council) to Parliament, as also to Parliamentary committees, representing imaginary expenditure on exchange transactions with London, as also imaginary deficits made good only by additions to the national debt.

Download or read book Classics Transformed written by Christopher Stray and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to give a general account of the transformation of classics in English schools and universities from being the amateur knowledge of the Victorian gentleman to that of the professional scholar, from an elite social marker to a marginalized academic subject. The challenges to the authority of classics in 19th-century England are analysed, as is the wide range of ideological responses by its practitioners. The impact of university reform on the content and organization of classical knowledge is described in detail, with special reference to Cambridge. Chapters are devoted to the effects of state intervention, social snobbery and democracy on the provision of classics in schools, and the dissensions within the bodies set up to defend it. The narrative is carried through to the abolition of Compulsory Latin in 1960 and the absence of classics from the National Curriculum in 1988.
