First Edition "For most modern people, the subject of this book is symbolized by a scarred and barren landscape lit by a lurid light from 'dark, Satanic mills.' Or by long rows of identical, tiny, brick hovels lining the streets of industrial towns, grey and despairing under perpetual fog and rain. This book presents the evidence for other, more positive and meliorative effects of Industrialism in England and includes the influence of the new concepts on general society as well as on the factory hand. For Industrialism brought about a gradual transformation of values with respect to many things - among them crime and punishment, artistic taste, personal conduct, sports and pastimes, the framework of law, and the character of education" [from the dust jacket].
