Lord Cochrane's History

Lord thomas cochran was implicated in one of the first great stock exchange frauds. In 18 10 he got caught up defending his friend and fellow radical m p, sir francis burdett from being thrown into london's tower. Cochran rigged burdett's house with explosives and seemed sincere about his willingness to blow the whole place up rather than let burdett be taken alive. But now you're already saying to yourself, what on earth are you talking about? Napoleon didn't die in eastern france in early 18 14. Me waterloo isn't even for another 16 months. None of this is true, is it? And no, it was not.
