Great Britain -- Politics and government

Collected correspondence of John Bright, a British Quaker. He was a Radical and Liberal statesman, a promoter of free trade policies, and one of the greatest orators of his generation. The collection contains about 200 letters.

Correspondence primarily between Liberal members or activists in the British government and Henry Joseph Wilson or Alexander Cowan Wilson; mostly the period when Gladstone and Disraeli led the Whig and Tory parties (1860s to 1890s).
