Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lessons on the Phenomena of Industrial Life, and the Conditions of Industrial Success
WE all know, for we all feel, that we could not live without food, clothing, shelter, and fuel. A. Moderate supply of these we consider the necessaries of life. But in order to preserve health, and to command means of amusement and relaxation - to enjoy life, in short - we want other things besides; and these we call the comforts and luxuries of life. Many of the things originally looked upon as luxuries have long passed, among civilized people, into the class of necessaries. If, for example, we who live at the pre sent time in this country were to be deprived of paper, books, painting, sculpture, music, glass, soap, gas, and many other things too numerous to be separately named, we should feel ourselves to be deprived of most of the charms of existence, and of the securities for well-being.

Excerpt from Lessons on the Phenomena of Industrial Life, and the Conditions of Industrial Success
The manuscript of the following Lessons has been placed in my hands for publication, and I have great pleasure in editing the work, from a conviction that the subjects on which it treats are among the most useful to be taught in early life, and that every school-teacher ought to be well acquainted with and able to leach them.
This work is the carrying out one step further, and in most important direction, what I have advocated in my "Hints for the Improvement of Secular Education," and what Lord Ashburton has so happily drawn attention to under the name of "Common Things."
In the earlier part of their career, it is the lot of the great mass of mankind, in the business of social life, to learn to sell their labour - whether of the head or of the hand - to provide for their present and future wants; and disguise it as we will, how this can best be done, and to most advantage, is one of the great lessons of life which all have to learn, and which every parent, as far as he knows, is anxious to teach hie children.
Can it be doubted, then, that the circumstances which determine the amount of their money-wages, and what these will command in exchange, ought to be enumerated among the common things in which youth should be instructed?
