See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ('Mehemet Ali'). The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet 'which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute [.] attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour, sailing via Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean, as far as Constantinople, meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt, before returning via Greece in April 1837.' The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p, foolscap 8vo. The page is headed '20' and carries ten lines of text, one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged, worn and creased. On reverse, in pencil, in a contemporary hand: 'Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey'. The text reads (with deleted passage in square brackets): 'Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man, [- the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed -] and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects, - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene, not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali'. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person, with reverse blank. In fair condition, lightly aged. Reads: 'Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis, & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury, a memorial'.

Among those testifying before the committee were Morris Birbeck and Arthur Young, agricultural and travel writer, and at the time secretary to the Board of Agriculture. "The Corn Laws were a deeply divisive issue in the first half of the nineteenth century. Against the backdrop of a strained post-war economy, Tory Prime Minister Lord Liverpool passed the Corn Laws in 1815. These laws placed tariffs on cereal grain imported from other countries such as wheat and maize to favour domestic agriculture. The price of grain had to reach 80 shillings a quarter, or near famine inducing levels, before foreign imports would be allowed . Objections to the Corn Laws from all levels of society were evident from the moment they were enacted. On 20th March 1815, at the third reading of the Bill in the House of Lords, a formal protest was entered by eleven peers, including two members of the Royal Family: the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Gloucester. Despite intense and mounting opposition for decades, the Corn Laws were not repealed until 1846" (Dr. Katie Carpenter at committees[dot]parliament.uk).

A lengthy run of Joseph Livesey's popular anti-Corn Law periodical The Struggle, issued weekly and widely circulated, which helped popularize the Anti-Corn Law League; the volume collects the numbers for the year 1844, with a collective title page. The periodical ran from 1842 to 1846, with 235 numbers by its termination. "With his genuinely popular sympathies and accessible prose, Livesey had much in common with radical writers such as William Cobbett. The use of staples of street literature suggests that Livesey's Struggle was close in tone, style and form to popular radicalism and popular culture. As well as helping to create a new popular audience for Cobdenite free trade, evidence of circulation and distribution and contemporary comment suggests that the Struggle had a unique reach compared to other free trade periodicals" (Miller, p. 6) "Through the widely-circulated Struggle Livesey was one of the unsung heroes of the anti-corn law campaign. He anticipated the working-class liberalism that developed after Chartism. The content of The Struggle bears a close affinity to the key tenets of later Gladstonian liberalism, with its emphasis on Cobdenite free trade, manly independence, self-improvement, and respectability" (ibid., p. 21).
