Artisans and Machinery: The Moral and Physical Condition of the Manufacturing Population is a book written by P. Gaskell and published in 1836. The book explores the impact of industrialization on the working class, specifically focusing on the textile industry in England during the early 19th century. Gaskell examines the conditions of the factories, the health and safety of the workers, and the moral and social implications of the industrial revolution. He argues that the rapid growth of the manufacturing industry has led to the exploitation of workers and the deterioration of their physical and mental health. The book is a significant early work in the study of labor and industrialization, and provides valuable insights into the social and economic changes of the time.Considered With Reference To Mechanical Substitutes For Human Labor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
