Joseph Hume was a champion of free-trade principles and radical
reform. He was in the forefront of nearly every major reform
endeavor in the first half of the nineteenth century and, though he
never held office, his name was a household word in England for
over thirty years. He rose to popularity on the basis of his attack
on government spending, and he remained a favorite of "the people"
because he seemed unencumbered by personal avarice. Hume's personal
life largely remains a mystery, because his private papers were
destoryed by fire. The authors have gone though many manuscript
collections of those who were close to Hume in order to put his
life together. The most useful of these collections were the papers
of Francis Place, John Cam Hobhouse, and Richard Cobden.
