Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Glory and the Shame of Britain, Vol. 1: An Essay on the Condition and Claims of the Working Classes, Together With the Means of Securing Their Elevation The circumstances which have led to the publication of the following Essay are briefly these: - In the year 1849, the Committee of the Religious Tract Society offered two prizes of 100l. and 50l. respectively, for the best and second best Essays on "The present condition of the manufacturing and other working classes, so far as the same is affected by moral causes and personal character and habits, together with the best means of promoting their temporal and spiritual welfare." Having frequently been brought into contact with the classes in question, the author´s attention was powerfully drawn towards the subject: he finally resolved to transmit his thoughts respecting it for competition, and subsequently had the gratification of being informed that his Essay had been honoured with the first prize.
