Richard Cobden (1804 – 1865) was an English manufacturer and Radical and Liberal statesman, associated with two major free trade campaigns, the Anti-Corn Law League and the Cobden–Chevalier Treaty. Bad health obliged him to leave Britain, and for several months, at the end of 1836. He returned to Britain in April 1837.
