Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Little Hodge In the English edition of this story, the conversations of the country-people are written and spelt in the Dorsetshire dialect. I have thought that, in preparing it for American readers, it would be better, while retaining the idiom, to correct the orthography of the dialect, and this is the only difference in the editions published simultaneously in both countries. The subject of this story is one that may be remote from the knowledge or the sympathies of American readers, yet it will, I hope, be found that its relations and lessons are wider than the subject, and that it possesses a general human interest. The problems of Labor and Capital are not local; their conditions are much the same everywhere; and the spirit of the solution herein glanced at will be equally at home in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ottawa, Somerset, and Dorset. Moreover, I have taken the liberty of bringing Brother Jonathan on the scene, to aid, with his younger and sharper wit, the bucolic and fuddled intellect of old John Bull.
