About this ebook
This 1913 biography of the British Radical and Liberal statesman John Bright (1811-1889) was hailed by the New York Times as "masterly" and destined to "assume a position of authority and permanence in the library of English political literature." The volume follows Bright’s life from his schooldays, through the battle of the Corn Laws and the American Civil War, to his death.
