Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Autobiography of Thomas Wright: Of Birkenshaw, in the County of York, 1736-1797 The writer of the following Autobiography states that it was designed for the instruction and amusement of his children and descendants; but it has been thought by several friends who have read it, and whose judgment I respect, that it contains much that might be instructive and amusing to other peoples children also, and I have, therefore, ventured to give it to the public. Too long a space of time has elapsed to leave any personal feelings or interests to be affected by it, and I myself in printing it look upon it only as a remarkable historical record, which gives us a curious and striking picture - I may, perhaps, add almost unique - of domestic life among a very important class of English society during the latter half of the last century, in what has since become one of the greatest and most active manufacturing districts in our island.
