Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cobbett's Two-Penny Trash: Or Politics For The Poor (1831) is a political pamphlet written by William Cobbett. In this book, Cobbett argues that the poor have been excluded from political discourse and that they should have a voice in government. He advocates for universal suffrage and the abolition of the House of Lords. The book is written in a conversational style, with Cobbett addressing the reader directly and using humor to make his points. He also includes anecdotes and examples to illustrate his arguments. The title ""Two-Penny Trash"" refers to the cheap price of the pamphlet, which was meant to make it accessible to the poor. Overall, Cobbett's Two-Penny Trash is a passionate call for political reform and social justice for the working class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
