Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and economic underpinnings of industrial legislation, specifically focusing on the role of factory legislation in safeguarding the rights and well-being of workers in the 19th century. The author argues that the unregulated free market system, characterized by individual bargaining between employers and employees, led to the exploitation and degradation of workers, particularly women. The book traces the emergence of factory legislation as a response to this problem, examining the specific provisions and effects of these laws on wages, working hours, and working conditions. It highlights how standardized regulations helped eliminate dangerous or unhealthy working environments and promoted a more equitable distribution of the benefits of industrialization. The author also delves into the broader social and economic consequences of factory legislation, arguing that it played a crucial role in improving the health, productivity, and overall quality of life for workers and their families. By providing a detailed historical analysis and insightful commentary, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between industrialization, labor rights, and the role of government in shaping working conditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Russell Wakefield, Franccis Chandler, George Lansbury and Mrs. Sidney Webb (pp. 719- 1238. The Commission was appointed in 1905 'to inquire: - 1) Into the working of the laws relating to the relief of poor persons in the United Kingdom; 2) Into the various means which have been adopted outside of the Poor Laws for meeting distress arising from want of employment, particularly during periods of severe industrial depression.' The Commission was famously split and its recommendations were published in one report. A large propganda campaign was organized by Sidney and Beatrice Webb in support of the recommendations for prevention of destitution. In the years that followed, the fabric of the old Poor Law was gradually dismantled and the new system of social insurance took its place. First edition (first printing).

Paper. Condition: Very good. Series of photographs and handwritten letters from Private First Class Henry B. Ferguson, an African American solider serving in the 742nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion in the South Pacific during World War II, to Miss Elizabeth Webb of Bradenton (illustrator). Handwritten Letters. Series of photographs and handwritten letters from Private First Class Henry B. Ferguson, an African American solider serving in the 742nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion in the South Pacific during World War II, to Miss Elizabeth Webb of Bradenton, Florida. Twenty-four letters ranging from September 1944 to April 1946. Handwritten on various forms of stationery, including thin blue paper and the War & Navy Department's V-Mail Service. All envelopes torn along one edge, faint wear to corners. Twenty-one photographs of various African American servicemen in multiple locations throughout the Pacific, some with photo album page remnants remaining on verso. Faint wear to corners, a few with handwritten inscriptions. Ferguson's letters primarily center around his loving and longing for Miss Webb, which are only heightened by the intensity of the weather and his work. He often writes of either the "rainy season" the battalion is stuck in, or how impactful the heat is. On February 10th, 1945 he writes "Everybody in the States seems to be suffering from the cold weather, and im sitting down with my shirt off getting a back massage from the heat rash." In July 1945, he wrote "It really looks like i'll be here another year dear. I expect to be in the Philippines in the next month." It is unclear exactly when Ferguson departs the Philippines and returns to the United States, but the final letter from early 1946 shows his return address in Brooklyn, New York. Private First Class Henry B. Ferguson (1922-2001) served in the 742nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) Gun Battalion in World War II. Throughout Ferguson's enlistment, which began December 5, 1942, the Battalion traveled to New Hebrides (Oct. 1943-May 1944), Cape Gloucester (May 1944-Nov. 1944), Finschhafen (Nov. 1944-Aug. 1945), and Luzon (Aug. 1945 - discharge). The 742nd AAA Gun Battalion participated in the major battles of the South Pacific, including the Guadalcanal campaign, the Battle of Cape Gloucester within Operation Cartwheel, and the Battle of Luzon at the end of the Philippines campaign. In 1947, PFC Ferguson married the recipient of these letters, Miss Elizabeth Webb, and had one daughter. Signed.

2 vols. in 1, a little spotting and marginal damp-staining, first leaf of second vol. creased and the opening with a light stain (apparently from a bookmark), pp. [iv], [i], [v-] viii, 172; 204, 8vo, recased in the original green linen backed boards, spine faded, edges rubbed, later printed paper label on spine, good. The translator begins her preface (which is on an inserted leaf): 'The constant kindness with which for the last thirty years my works have been regarded by the public, and especially the favourable reception which it has deigned to give to this production of my pen, might have authorised me in not making in not making any alteration in this edition', and goes on to outline the changes. However we have not been able to locate any earlier edition. Nor have we been able to ascertain much about 'Miss Webb' (as she appears on the title-page). That she was connected with Oxford or Oxfordshire is obvious from the dedication to the county's MP, and the preponderance of Oxfordshire addresses for the subscribers. Otherwise we have drawn a blank. BL and Bodleian only in COPAC and WorldCat.
