The book ""The Cry of the Children from the Brickyards of England: And How the Cry Has Been Heard, with Observations upon the Carrying Out of the Act"" by George Smith is a historical account of the plight of child laborers in England's brickyards during the 19th century. The book details the harsh working conditions, long hours, and low pay that these children were subjected to. It also explores the efforts made by social reformers to improve the situation, including the passing of the 1870 Education Act which required children to attend school. The author provides observations on the effectiveness of the Act and the ongoing struggle to end child labor. This book sheds light on a dark period in England's history and highlights the importance of social reform and advocacy for children's rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
