The Laboring Classes Of England

The Laboring Classes of England: Especially Those Engaged in Agriculture and Manufactures, in a Series of Letters is a book written by William Dodd and published in 1847. The book is a collection of letters that discuss the living and working conditions of the laboring classes in England during the 19th century, with a particular focus on those engaged in agriculture and manufacturing. Dodd examines the social and economic factors that contribute to the poverty and hardship faced by these workers, including low wages, long hours, and poor living conditions. He also discusses the impact of industrialization and the growth of capitalism on the laboring classes, as well as the role of government policies and social institutions in addressing their needs.Throughout the book, Dodd argues for the importance of improving the conditions of the laboring classes, both for their own well-being and for the benefit of society as a whole. He calls for reforms such as better wages, shorter working hours, and improved housing and sanitation, as well as greater access to education and other opportunities.Overall, The Laboring Classes of England provides a detailed and insightful look at the lives of working-class people in 19th-century England, and offers a compelling argument for the need to address their struggles and improve their circumstances.Also, A Voice From The Factories, A Poem, In Serious Verse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
