Reviews

Cobden the correspondent found himself in these years obliged to comment on a widely disparate series of agendas set by other people. This may explain why the editors' notes in this third volume are appreciably longer than before. No matter. These notes - extensive, scholarly, yet eminently readable - are a joy.
