""A Letter To Lord Ellenborough: From Lord Cochrane (1815)"" is a historical document written by Thomas Cochrane, a British naval officer and politician. The book is a letter addressed to Lord Ellenborough, the Lord Chief Justice of England, in which Cochrane defends himself against charges of fraud and conspiracy. Cochrane had been accused of being involved in a stock market scam in which false information was spread about the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars to manipulate stock prices. Cochrane vehemently denies these accusations in his letter to Lord Ellenborough, arguing that he was the victim of a conspiracy and that there was no evidence to support the charges against him. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and financial climate of early 19th century Britain, as well as the legal system of the time. It also sheds light on the character and reputation of Thomas Cochrane, who was a controversial figure in his own right. Overall, ""A Letter To Lord Ellenborough: From Lord Cochrane (1815)"" is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on a significant moment in British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The most renowned naval officer of the mid-nineteenth century, Thomas Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald (1775-1860), served in wars against Spain and France, retiring as an admiral in the Royal Navy. He was also an M.P., vociferously calling for naval reform in Parliament. Due to a financial scandal, he left the Royal Navy for a period and became a celebrated mercenary, commanding naval forces in the wars of independence of Chile, Peru, Brazil and Greece. First published in 1851, this work contains notes on a voyage of 1849 around the West Indies and North America. Describing the peoples and geography encountered, it offers progressive remarks on the end of slavery, criticisms of plantation owners, and suggestions for commercial improvements.
