present and forward delivery.

of the introduction of the leader of the League to its his-
torian really assumes the proportions of a book. Wo aro
reluctantly compelled to resist the temptation of summaris-
ing this, the first considerable production of Cobden's pen.
It was from first to last a protest against the ralmerstonian
foreign policy, and represented views from which Cobden
never in his after life in the slightest iota swerved,
and which ho never ceased to present to the nation, un-
influenced by the fair weather of popularity, undeterred
by the foul weather of temporary seasons of alienation,
when England was in one of its nitermittent war fevers.
These opening sentences from the preface are remarkably
characteristic of the man, and are of univerhal application
in English history—as pertinent in 1865 as they were in
1835. " The following pages were written principally with
a view to endeavour to prove the erroneous foreign policy
of the Government of this country. English statesmen of
every age, down even to the present day, have one and all
lost sight of that distinguishing feature which is peculiar
to the insular situation of Great Britain. If we go
back to the year 1805, when Nelson destroyed the
1 remains of the French navy at Trafalgar, these islands
were thenceforth as secure against foreign molestation
as though they had formed a portion of the moon's
territory; yet from that time down to 1815 we waged in-
cessant war, and incurred £100,000,000 of debt for interests
purely continental. Our European commerce yields but a
poor set-off against the expenses of the war. The hundred
days of Napoleon cost us £10,000,000, the interest of which
at 5 per cent. is £2,000,000. Now, our exports to all
Europe of British manufactures amount to about £18,000,000
annually: and taking the profit at 10 per cent., it falls short
of £2,000,00. So that all the profit of all our merchants,
trading with all Europe, will not yield sufficient to pay the
yearly interest of cost of thelast 103 days' war ou the Con-
tinent, leaving all the other hundreds of millions spent pre-
viously as so much dead loss.—M'Gf!citrist's Lye of Cobden.
