The FACTORY QUESTION and the TEN HOURS' BILL. By ROBERT HYDE
GREG, Esq. 3_s._
This pamphlet contains a concise history of Factory Legislation
down to the present time, with copious extracts from the Evidence
and Reports of the Factory Commissioners of 1833, and from the
various reports, to the Secretary of State, of the Factory
Inspectors since that period. It enters fully into the argument of
the comparative healthiness of factory employment, and into the
policy of further curtailing the hours of labour. It contains also
the most recent and authentic information respecting the progress
of foreign manufactures--the quantity produced by the machinery in
the continental and American cotton mills, compared with those of
England; and it shows the precarious tenure on which the cotton
manufacture of this country is at present held.
