Sobre este artículo
London: Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1845. First Edition. 8vo, pp. 122, ii. Bound in publisher's brown cloth (lacks some of the cloth on the spine, hinge repaired). Label removed from the endpaper and over the imprint, leaving a stain. Ex-Library with a withdrawn stamp on the blank verso of the title-page. The text, however, is nice and clean. See Sabin 78168; Kress C-6716. The first edition of an account of the conditions of the Lowell textile mills and their female work force. Scoresby visited the US in the summer of 1844 and gathered information for a series of lectures on the factory system. In response to a request by listeners, the author enlarged and expanded the lecture material to create this volume. Scoresby (1789-1857) was the son of the arctic explorer and was himself involved with Greenland whale fishery before entering the ministry.
