Geschiedenis
William Cooke Taylor was born at Youghal, County Cork, Ireland in 1800. He was educated locally and at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1829 he moved to England, settling in Camden Town, London, though he returned to Ireland from time to time. He supported himself by writing on history and on contemporary economic and social issues; among other periodicals, he was a regular contributor to The Athenaeum. Taylor was a strong advocate of free trade and an active member of the Anti-Corn Law League during the early and mid 1840s.
