Excerpt from A History of LabourThe spirit of the past still lived when the Duke of Wellington told the unreformed Parliament that it was of all human institutions the most perfect, yet the years, few in number, which stretch between that pronounce ment of dying Toryism and this day have brought about a shifting of the political centre of gravity, have raised the leaders of working-class thought and Opinion to a position of authority in the St...

Excerpt from The British Coal IndustryKnowing as I do most of the leaders on both the coal owners' and the miners' side, and entertaining for them the highest regard, it is to me Very regrettable to have perpetually to refer to the shortcomings of the industry. This, however, seems to be unavoidable when we have to deal with an industry which is at present the battling ground for a great and fundamental change.To quote a particular instance we...

The volume, indeed, is concerned with the birth of the English State. That splendid creation was not produced without much ...

Excerpt from A History of Labour There may be no doubt that the present age is of the great ages of the world. We who now live have experienced disasters more serious than those of preceding generations. We have also had offered to us as compensation opportunities that do not frequently recur. It is for us to move the world forward or backward. Belonging to such an age, I make no apology for endeavouring to see, by a consideration of the past...
