But look again. Very near that luxuriant field is a The Mme). Mine. Descend it. Fear not to enter that dismal cavern. N o inscription is at its portal, Lasciate aym' speranza voz' 'ntmte, All hepe abandon ye who enter here. And what do you see? Numbers Of men, groping in darkness, amidst coal and metal, extracting riches from thevery bowels Of the earth. See these hewers, squat ting down, frog-like in atti their backsm into the hard seam of coal; see that trapper, quite a little boy, sitting in darkness for hours and hours, Opening the trap door for the air current; or those drivers, as they conduct the laden tubs of coals on long low wagons. How glad would you he, were your visit real instead of imaginary, quickly to seize the ladder, or man engine, and ascend once more to the genial sunshine. And did I say, enter ye freely into that fiery pit? Shudder, indeed, when you think of the many who so recently, cheerily, entered into their labour in the morning, and in a few hours were the victims of an explosion of the fiery gases. Oh! What responsibility rests on those who, employ ing labour of so dangerous a character, fail to take the necessary precautions for the safety of the work men.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough examination of the working class in the United Kingdom during the mid-19th century. The author draws on a wide range of sources to paint a vivid picture of the daily lives of laborers. The book also explores the economic and social forces that shaped the working class experience, including the rise of industrialization, the factory system, and the trade union movement. The author argues that the working class was not a passive victim of these forces, but rather played an active role in shaping their own destiny. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of the history of the working class and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by workers today.
