Description: THE AMERICAN DIARIES OF RICHARD COBDEN Edited with and introduction, preface, and notes by Elizabeth Hoon Cawley. New York: Greenwood Press, Publishers, (1969). First Greenwood Press edition, first printing. Originally published in 1952 by Princeton University Press, most of which were produced for and sold to libraries. Seven illustrations including three facsimile pages from the diary, an Illinois Central Railroad map, and two maps depicting Cobden's route. Cobden, a British manufacturer who campaigned for peace and freedoms, was responsible for new laws and treaties for fair trade and changing unfair taxes and restrictions on average British citizens. The two investigative trips he made to America are recorded in detail in these diaries, and were different than other prejudiced British subject's depictions of American life, for their unbiased views--which lead their unpublished and tucked-away status in the British museum, until discovered and published in 1952 in America by Princeton University Press. Tiny cream smudge soil to the front cover, else very nearly fine and tight in in slate-green linen with gilt embossed titles to the spine, red-and-yellow headband and tail-band; no dust jacket.
