Publisher's Synopsis
""Time and Tide, by Weare and Tyne: Twenty-Five Letters to a Working Man of Sunderland on the Laws of Work"" is a book written by John Ruskin that consists of a series of letters addressed to a working man in Sunderland, England. The letters were originally published in the form of articles in the Cornhill Magazine in 1867 and 1868. In these letters, Ruskin discusses the importance of work and the laws that govern it. He emphasizes the need for workers to take pride in their work and to strive for excellence, rather than simply working to earn a living. He also discusses the role of employers in providing fair wages and working conditions, and the need for workers to have a voice in the workplace.Ruskin draws on his own experiences as a writer and artist to illustrate his points, and he uses examples from history and literature to support his arguments. He also addresses broader social issues, such as the impact of industrialization on society and the need for education and culture.Overall, ""Time and Tide, by Weare and Tyne"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into the nature of work and its place in society. It remains a relevant and important work today, more than 150 years after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
