Excerpt from The Life of William Cobbett, Esq., Late M. P. For Oldham: Including All the Memorable Events of His Extraordinary Life, From the Earliest Period to That of His Decease It may readily be supposed that the children of such parents were not suffered to eat the bread of idleness; and we according find that the subject of our present memoir was employed at a very early age in driving the small birds from the turnip seed, and the min from the peas. When he first trudged out on this errand, with his wooden bottle and satchel swung over his shoulders, he was hardly able to climb the gates and stiles, and, at the close of the day, to reach home, was a task of infinite diflculty. His next employment was weeding wheat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
