Book excerpt: While many famous writers – Balzac, Proust, Oscar Wilde – are buried at Paris’s Père Lachaise Cemetery, “there are also writers, many more of them in fact, buried there who have been completely forgotten, not necessarily because they were not good but because cultural memory is necessarily limited.” In eight chapters, the inimitable Anthony Daniels dilates on some forgotten writers of Père Lachaise, exploring their literary merit and the amusing byways of history, aiming “to entertain while illustrating the inexhaustible depth of our past.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factory Children: Report Upon the Schooling and Hours of Labor of Children Employed in the Manufacturing and Mechanical Establishments of Massachusetts To His Excellency William Gaston, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Sir: - There are in this Commonwealth upwards of sixty thousand children, of school age, who are growing up in ignorance, contrary to the ancient policy of the State, and in open violation of the letter and spirit of existing laws. To protect and provide for this vast and increasing body of illiterates, the legislature of 1867 authorized "the constable of the Commonwealth to specially detail one of his deputies." The Hon. Henry K. Oliver, of Salem, was the first appointee, serving two years, and making two official reports. In August, 1869, the duties of the office were assigned to Capt. J. Waldo Denny. After the establishment of the police commission, in 1871, no officer was detailed, but the following instructions were given to each member of the force: - "Constables of the Commonwealth will, as far as practicable, ascertain by interviews with children employed, by examination of school certificates, or other evidence, if there is a compliance with the provisions of the law. Your attention is called to the statute of 1867. "Officers will not Incur extra expense in making investigations under the foregoing law, unless upon reliable and positive information of a violation of its provisions, when they will act as in any other criminal matter." Upon the abolition of the police commission, it became the duty of the chief constable to detail an officer for this work.

Excerpt: ... will give us credit for an earnest desire to prove ourselves worthy of your confidence; you will see that it has been our anxious wish to propose to the government no amendments on their bill, which were not justified by experience. It has been our desire to afford you the means of giving an additional proof to France of the deep and unceasing interest for her prosperity which animates you, when the question before you is the passing of a law tending to improve the condition of your fellow-citizens, and to render the lot of the working classes more happy, by providing for their health, their education, and their morals; in a word, when the object is to add to those physical, intellectual, and religious possessions, which constitute the welfare, honour, and prosperity of a wise and powerful nation. We trust that the bill now submitted to you will come out from that legislative ordeal through which it has to pass improved by the amendments which we have proposed, and by such others as will doubtless be suggested by subsequent examination and discussion." IV. A Brief Account of the Discussion in the Chamber of Peers, in passing the Projet de hoi. The above Report was presented to the Chamber on the 22d of February, 1840, and was taken into consideration a fortnight afterwards. In the interval, the subject was discussed in several of the newspapers; and, what was very remarkable and consolatory, all spirit of party was laid aside on this topic: the journals the most opposed to each other concurred in expressing a strong opinion, that it was the duty of the legislature to provide securities, that the children employed in the manufactories should not be exposed to excessive labour and other ill treatment. A most animated and interesting...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children have worked for centuries and continue to work. The history of the economic development of Europe and North America includes numerous instances of child labor. Manufacturers in England, France, Belgium, Germany, and Prussia as well as the United States used child labor during the initial stages of industrialization. In addition, child labor prevails currently in many industries in the Third World. This book examines the explanations for child labor in an economic context. A model of the labor market for children is constructed using the new economics of the family framework to derive the supply of child labor and the traditional labor theory of marginal productivity to derive the demand for child labor. The model is placed into a historical context and is used to test the existing supply-and-demand-induced explanations for an increase in child labor during the British Industrial Revolution. Evidence on the extent of childrens employment, their specific tasks and trends in their wages from the textile industry and mining industry is used to support the argument that it was technological innovation which created a demand for child labor. Certain mechanical inventions and process innovations increased the demand for child labor in three ways: increasing number of assistants needed; increasing the substitutability between children and adults, and creating work situations that only children could fill. Specific innovations in the production of textiles and in the extraction of coal, copper and tin are highlighted to show how they favored the use of child workers over adult workers. The book concludes with a look at the current situations in developing countries where child labor is prevalent. Considerable insight is gained on the role of child labor in economic development when this historical model is applied to the contemporary situation.
