Folio Society, London, 1968. Book condition: very good. Spine faded. Original slipcase in very good condition. Even in an age not yet besotted with specialisation Cobbett's versatility was remarkable. Soldier, agronomist, grammarian, moral counsellor, historian, popular educator, editor, journalist, parliamentarian and author: he was all of these and such was his genius for controversy and such his boldness that in none could he be ignored.
