Item description from seller

Viii pp + 387 pages and a 4 page publishers catalogue at the rear, with 24 steel engraved plates by Thomas Onwhyn and Auguste Hervieu, the plates somewhat foxed throughout, pages handled, title pages has a few light smudge marks, text clean in the main with some light offsetting and mark or two. contemporary half-calf with marbled paper boards, the boards rubbed with surface loss, calf also rubbed at extremes, octavo. *A social commentary on the inhuman and malicious and sanctimonious methods of factory work for children at this time, made into fiction. A vivid indictment of the working practices inflicted under the guise of benevolent Christian moral values and work ethic, but practiced (with perfect irony and callousness lost on the perpetrators) on the poor and ill-educated. A must read for any social reformer even today. 1840 *NOTE. The female author was the mother of Anthony Trollope and her work was on social reforms and helping the poor. Neglected somewhat today she influenced Harriet Beecher Stowe on her work of slavery and it was said of her "No other author of the present day has been at once so read, so much admired, and so much abused".

Description de la boutique

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
