A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On Town Beauty. Bv the Very lev. Dr. L. C. Casartelli, President. Read November 23rd, 1898. I. In submitting this essay to the Society, I cannot but feel conscious of the very large claim it must make upon the indulgence and patience of the members, on account of both the subject with which it deals and the manner of treatment adopted. The impartial critic will very likely feel constrained to say that a large dose of good-will is necessary to make it pass muster in the proceedings of a Society whose very title shows it to be above all things statistical. Shall I be too daring if I venture to seize upon that blessed word Statistics itself, and, claiming for it a breadth and expansion comparable to that of Mesoputamia, seek therein some justification for presenting svich an address?

Présentation de l'éditeur

Wages and Hours of Working in the Coal Industry in France, Germany, and England. By Professor J. E. C. Munro. Read December 9, 1891. One of the important aspects of the proposal to reduce the hours of labour in coal mines is the probable effect any reduction might have on foreign trade. It is assumed by many writers and speakers that the long hours and low wages paid on the Continent give a special advantage to the Continental producer, and it is urged that any reduction in the hours of mmers in England will affect our export trade. I propose to-night to direct your attention to the economic position of the miner in France and Germany two countries that possess a substantial, though not a large, supply of coal. I restrict myself to these two countries partly because time will not permit a detailed examination of the wages and hours of labour elsewhere, and partly because the necessary facts and figures can be easily ascertained. France. The total production of coal in France during the year 1889 amounted to 22,603,000 tons, composed of 20,851,000 tons of coal, 1,321,000 tons of anthracite, and 431,000 tons of lignite. No less than 35 percent of this amount was raised in the coalfields lying to the north, and known as the Nord and the Pas-de-C
