Publisher's Synopsis
The Factory Question is a book written by Robert Hyde Greg in 1837 that examines the effects of factory work on the health and morals of those employed in factories. Greg argues that the long hours and poor working conditions in factories have a detrimental impact on the physical and mental well-being of workers, and that this in turn has negative consequences for society as a whole. He also discusses the Ten Hours Bill, a proposed law that would limit the workday in factories to ten hours, and argues that it is necessary to protect workers from exploitation and abuse. The book provides a detailed analysis of the factory system and its impact on workers, and is an important historical document in the development of labor laws and worker protections.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
