Collection of tracts. An extensive compilation of publications by the Cobden Club, including essays on free trade, taxation, and foreign affairs, along with annual dinner reports and membership lists. The club was formed in May 1866 to expound the principles of the radical MP Richard Cobden (1804-1865) and was one of the few gentlemen's clubs with a publishing arm."In its early years the club published a series of weighty works, including those on local taxation and land tenure designed to shape Liberal policy-making along Cobdenite lines, as well as numerous popular and influential pamphlets like those by the corn merchant and horticulturist Augustus Mongredien" (ODNB).
