Page on William Cobbett

I just picked up Cottage Economy and looked Cobbett up before starting to read it. Good article. Will add some stuff about his views on agriculture when I have read it. In the mean time added a few references etc. Justinc 23:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

It is true that Cobbett criticised Jews, but he said the same things about Quakers. He said that the Jews were better than the Quakers, as some of the Jews " do work." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.99.135 (talk) 14:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Cobbett regarded the Quakers as entirely devoted to speculation in grain.


 * It would be helpful to get any reference at all for what Cobbett said about Jews and Quakers. At the moment, the horribly written lead states that Cobbett didn't like Jews. I am going to rewrite the lead, to clean it up and make it more comprehensible. Unless Cobbett's dislike for Jews is a defining aspect of his life's work (I read the article and don't find evidence of that; he disliked a lot of people and causes, and felt strongly about many things), I am going to remove and relocate the part about Jews. Cobbett seems to have a devoted following right up through the present day, so if there are any objections to my efforts to improve this article, please let's discuss them here.--FeralOink (talk) 07:41, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
