Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memoir of Charles Mayne Young, Tragedian, 1871, Vol. 2: With Extracts From His Son's Journal
Note. The above is taken from my journal written thirty - two years ago. Since 18 38 the taxes on tea and sugar have been greatly reduced, and increased consider ation for the poor has been shown by each successive government; but still, I must think that the wages of the agricultural labourer are too low. My opinion is based on data derived from respectable sources in several parishes. The two following statements I select at random from many that I have by me. I took them down from the lips of two of the thriftiest and best-con ducted families in the parish of F airlight, near Hastings, when wages were not 75. Per week, as at Lyneham, but 1zs.
