| Summary | "William Cobbett: A Biography in Two Volumes, Vol. 1" by Edward Smith is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life of William Cobbett, an influential figure known for his political writings and reforms in England, exploring his early life, upbringing, and the formative experiences that shaped his views and career. The opening of the biography introduces William Cobbett, born in 1762 in Farnham, Surrey, and reflects on his humble beginnings as a farmer's son. Smith vividly characterizes Cobbett's early life, detailing the agricultural landscape of Farnham and the influence of his family, particularly his hardworking father and grandfather, on his formative years. Cobbett recalls his childhood struggles and joys, establishing a strong sense of pride derived from his rural upbringing, experiences with hard work, and self-education, which ultimately set the stage for his future endeavors as a political writer and reformer. The narrative suggests a burgeoning intelligence and defiance in young Cobbett that would later manifest in his lifetime battles against public corruption and oppression.
