William Cobbett, pseudonym Peter Porcupine, (born March 9, 1763, Farnham, Surrey, England—died June 18, 1835, Normandy, Surrey), English popular journalist who played an important political role as a champion of traditional rural England against the changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution.This book contains selection of his writings.

William Cobbett was an English journalist and member of parliament, who was born in Farnham, Surrey. He believed that reforming Parliament and abolishing the rotten boroughs would help to end the poverty of farm labourers, and he attacked the borough-mongers, sinecurists and "tax-eaters" relentlessly. Through the seeming contradictions in Cobbett's life, his opposition to authority stayed constant. He wrote many polemics, on subjects from political reform to religion. This is volume two out of four of his most essential writings, covering the years 1805 to 1809.
