COBDEN
(Richard, 1804-1865, Statesman)
Exceptional Autograph Letter Signed to Joseph STURGE
(1793-1859, Quaker Philanthropist), regretting that he "cannot give any information respecting Mr Schwabe in the Manilla trade. My late friend Salis Schwabe made his own fortune. None of the family had anything to begin with. Is not the person about whom you inquire a brother of Mrs Schwabe who was a cousin of her husband ... I do not know anything about the circumstances of any of the family, excepting Salis Schwabe who left a large property to his wife and children. It is singular that I had almost added to my last note a suggestion that you should not go to St Petersburg, or see any of the Russian high officials if you would wish to create a sufficient sympathy to raise a Jubilee subscription for the poor Finns on your return home. I cannot help thinking that if you see the Emperor it will be misconstrued. That of course need not influence you unless you think it will interfere with the main object of your journey ..." and sending his best wishes for the trip, 4 sides sm. 8vo., Bognor, 7th

Autograph Letter Signed to W. R. Baillie
telling him that "At present no day is fixed for my motion - I stand second on the motion paper for the 30th, but am afraid I shall not be able to come on - it is very difficult by the rules of the House to choose the time when a member will bring in a motion, it is in fact altogether contingent upon the lottery of a ballot ...", 2 sides 8vo., London, 19th April

COBDEN SUPPORTS THE MOVEMENT TO REDUCE DUTY ON WINE
COBDEN
(Richard, 1804-1865, Statesman)
Autograph Letter Signed to B. Oliveira
saying that he is "unhappily prevented from attending the Festival to be held on the 9th inst to promote the reduction of the Wine Duties, I trouble you with a line to say that the object of the demonstration has my hearty sympathy. Although I have always been in favor of applying the principles of Free Trade to our own legislation, without waiting for the concurrent action of other Countries, yet I see with pleasure that many French & other foreign visitors are expected to be present at your meeting, for as they are known to be advocates of Commercial freedom, I take it for granted that they consider that a reduction of our duties on their great staple export would assist them in their effort to diminish the imposts on our production in their Country ...", 3 sides 8vo., on mourning paper, Midhurst 8th July
