Book Description :
William Cobbett recounts over a decade of first hand conversations and experiences he had engaging with English farmers and labourers. This was during his rides on horseback through the English countryside. At the time, England was in agricultural distress and the sad outlook of the farmers was the chief subject of the day. He was a popular public speaker and addressed packed houses, growing political influence throughout England. This work presents an accurate picture of social and domestic life in England. The original work was edited in 1853 by his son James Paul Cobbett (1803-1881). --Preface.
