William Cobbett (9 March 1763 - 18 June 1835) English pamphleteer, farmer and journalist, born in Farnham, Surrey. Best known for Rural Rides(1830). Cobbett published controversial pamphlets, and generally tweaked the Establishment, in England and in America. His only consistency appears to have been a disdain towards the French. In 1807, in a story, Cobbett coined the term 'red herring' to mean a distraction from the important issue.
