  Richard Cobden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobden was thus relegated to private life, and retiring to his country house at Dunford, he spent his time in perfect contentment in cultivating his land and feeding his pigs.
In 1866 the Cobden Club was founded in London, to promote free-trade economics, and it became a centre for political propaganda on those lines; and prizes were instituted in his name at Oxford and Cambridge.
Cobden had married in 1840 Miss Catherine Anne Williams, a Welsh lady, and left five surviving daughters, of whom Mrs Cobden-Unwin (wife of the publisher Mr Fisher Unwin), Mrs Walter Sickert (wife of the painter) and Mrs.

 The Globalisation Institute - world peace through world trade - Richard Cobden
Indeed, Cobden was at the heart of a network of radical reformers with interests ranging from free trade to constitutional reform and the preservation of religious liberty.
Cobden himself became lastingly associated with free trade which he believed would maximise popular welfare and create bonds of peace between nations, part of an optimistic view of divine harmony which he shared with continental liberals such as Frédéric Bastiat.
The Cobden Club, set up in 1866, was devoted to the defence and diffusion of his ideas, while many of his supporters remained influential within the British Liberal party and abroad.

 Cobden's biography
Cobden's attack on what he saw as the local example of feudal governance was followed by his taking up the leadership of Manchester's campaign against the Corn Laws, which he saw as the outstanding bastion of aristocratic self-interest within the British state.
If commerce was for Cobden the best way to peace, he also continued to urge arbitration treaties and the reform of international, especially maritime law, a pressing issue with the onset of the American Civil War in which Cobden was anxious to prevent British intervention.
The Cobden Club, set up in 1866, was devoted to the defence and diffusion of his ideas, while many of his supporters remained influential within the British Liberal party and abroad, for example, David Wells in the United States or Henry Parkes in Australia.

Cobden to J.R.Robinson 26 July 1851, concerning the French journalist Emile de Girardin at the time of the Peace Congress in London
Cobden now became preoccupied with explaining why Palmerston had gained so much support and in order to counter this helped set up the pro-peace Morning Star daily newspaper in 1856.
This theme dominated Cobden's last years as he attempted to educate the public through his writings, especially his important tract The Three Panics (1862) and to influence parliament through his vehemently anti-Palmerstonian speeches before his untimely death in April 1865.
