Excerpt from Cobden as a Citizen, a Chapter in Manchester History: A Facsimile of Cobden's Pamphlet "Incorporate Your Borough" With an Introduction Recording His Career as a Municipal Reformer and a Cobden Bibliography
Preface his book originated in the discovery I by Mrs. Jane Cobden Unwin among some family papers of a copy Of her father's long-lost pamphlet, Incorporate Your Borough! This tract, of which copies were printed in 1838, was the beginning of the successful agitation for the incorporation of Manchester. It has long been vainly sought for by collectors; two industrious harvesters of local lore, father and son, have been unsuccess fully looking out for it since 1852!
When it was deemed desirable to reprint this rare, if not unique, pamphlet, it seemed also de sirable to put on record some details of Cob den's efforts as a citizen before he became ah sorbed in the work of parliament. His activities are, of course, indicated in Mr. John Morley's admirable biography, but many of the details here given would have been out of place there. Yet it is thought that they will not be without interest at a time when the possibilities of use ful municipal work are continually increasing, and the dignity and importance of local self government are more generally recognized than in the day when Cobden was a member of the Corporation of Manchester.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a political text from 1838 written by Richard Cobden. The main subject of the book is the necessity for municipal reform within Manchester. Cobden argues that the current method of appointing the boroughreeve (the highest municipal official) and other officers through the Lord of the Manor is outdated and ineffective. He advocates for the incorporation of Manchester, which would give the town control over its own government and police force. The book provides a detailed analysis of the flaws in the existing system and makes a compelling case for change. Cobden's ideas were ultimately successful, and Manchester was incorporated in 1846. This book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the development of local government in England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
