Publisher's Synopsis

""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"" is a book written by George Smith. The book sheds light on the plight of children who were forced to work in brick factories during the Industrial Revolution in England. Smith highlights the inhumane conditions and the brutal treatment that these children were subjected to in the brickyards. He also discusses the efforts made by social reformers to improve the working conditions of these children. The book provides a detailed account of the passage of the Factory Act of 1833, which aimed to regulate child labor and improve working conditions in factories. Smith's observations on the implementation of the Act provide insight into the challenges faced by reformers in enforcing the new regulations. Overall, ""The Cry of the Children from the Brickyards of England"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the harsh realities of child labor during the Industrial Revolution and the efforts made to improve the lives of working-class children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
