SELECTIONS FROM

CORBETTS POLITICAL REGISTER;

BEING

A Complete Abridgement of the 100 Volumes which comprise the writings of “Porcupine” and the “Weekly Politcal Register” (from 1794 to 1835)

WITH NOTES, HISTORICAL AND EXPLANATORY BY JOHN M COBBETT AND JAMES P. COBBETT ESQRS,.

Barristers-at-Law,

Is now published, in Six Volumes 8vo with a Complete Analytical Index to the whole. The Index to this work gives it an advantage over the original one, which, being without any genera; Index, and the indices to the Volumes being scanty, where there are any, and being omitted in a great many of the volumes, is in fact, a work very difficult to refer to. The great object of the editors of this abridgement has been to preserve a series of the best papers of Mr. Corbett's writings, and render them easily referred to by a General Analytical Index. The price of the Six Volumes 8vo. is 2l. 10s. boards

THE COBBETT LIBRARY

When I am asked what books a young man or young woman ought to read, I always answer, Let him read 'all' the books that I have written. This does, it will doubtless be said, smell of the shop No matter. It is what I recommend; and experience has taught me that it is my duty to give the recommendation. I am speaking here of books other than THE REGISTER and even these, that I call my LIBRARY, consist of thirty-nine distinct books; two of them being ; seven of them being written ; one revised and edited, and one published by me, written by the Rev. Mr, a most virtuous Catholic Priest. I divide these books into classes, as follows.—1 Books for Teaching Language 2 On Domestic Management and Duties; 3. On Rural Affairs; 4 On the Management of National Affairs; 5. History; 6. Travels; 7. Laws. 8. Miscellaneous Politics. Here is a great variety of subjects, and all of them very dry; nevertheless the manner of treating them is in general such as to induce the reader to go through the book when he has once begun it. I will now speak of each book separately, under the several heads, which will be borne in mind when the price is looked at.—W.C
