Publisher's Synopsis
Workers and Idlers is a book written by Merritt H. Dement in 1883. The book explores the contrasting lifestyles of workers and idlers during the late 19th century. Dement describes the work ethic and struggles of workers, while also examining the leisurely and often wasteful lifestyles of idlers. The author argues that idleness is a vice that can lead to moral decay and a lack of productivity, while hard work and diligence are virtues that lead to success and personal fulfillment. Through anecdotes and observations, Dement paints a vivid picture of the social and economic landscape of the time. The book offers insight into the attitudes and values of the era and remains a valuable historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
