Excerpt from The Trades' Unions of England

WE owe a word of explanation to the reader who takes the trouble of perusing these pages. They may appear full of special details, the subject itself will doubtless seem altogether technical. But we hope that he, like ourselves, will see that there is a general and imme diate interest in this question, which we, for our parts, have spent much time in investigating.
