1873165641873. Women Employment Labor LawMr. Mundella's Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour in Factories. Observations of the Employers upon the Speech of Mr. Mundella M.P. made in the House of Commons U.K on Wednesday the 11th of June 1873. Manchester: John Heywood Excelsior Printing Works 1873. 32 pages. First edition. 8 1/4 x 5 in. Original paper wrappers. Includes three data tables in appendix regarding worker mortality rates. Liberal Party politician A.J. Mundella famous for his defense of safety bills and public education for all children speaks on unsafe working conditions and "shameful treatment" of laborers; he cites high mortality rates for women and child workers and includes mortality rate information on newborn infants who suffered neglect when their mothers were forced to return to work days after giving birth: "the return of the mother to the mill was a sentence of death on the child." In this document factory owners counter the speech given by Mundella cite statistics that claim quality of life is improving for these factory workers; while marginal gains had been made in recent decades factory labor was still very dangerous and politicians like Mundella ensured the health and safety for thousands of the least represented workers in England. Very good condition. unknown
1871161381871. Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life 1871 documents the parliamentary investigation of infant welfare paid infant care mortality and state regulation in Victorian Britain. The report documents the emerging system of infant life protection through committee proceedings witness testimony appendices and an index revealing how legislators gathered medical legal and social evidence to define infant neglect as a matter requiring public oversight. Produced one year before the Infant Life Protection Act of 1872 the volume provides primary-source evidence for the study of child welfare law women's labor and caregiving economies public health regulation infant mortality and the legal history of "baby farming" a term used in nineteenth-century debates over paid care for infants. The 1872 legislation has been identified by historians as Britain's first infant life protection legislation making this parliamentary report important to the documentary record behind early state intervention in private infant care.<br /> <br /> Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life. Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life together with the Proceedings of the Committee Minutes of Evidence Appendix and Index. London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 20 July 1871. First edition. 328 pp. Rebound in modern cloth. The report includes the committee's formal proceedings minutes of evidence appendix and index giving the volume a structured evidentiary record rather than a general policy summary. Its contents outline testimony and documentary material on infant care outside the immediate family social conditions affecting infant survival legal deficiencies and the need for enforceable protections. As a government publication it shows the mechanisms of parliamentary fact-finding in practice: evidence was collected organized indexed and converted into a legislative record that helped frame infant protection as a matter of law public health and social administration.<br /> <br /> The report belongs to the broader nineteenth-century movement toward state scrutiny of child welfare women's caregiving labor and domestic arrangements previously treated as private matters. Its timing matters because it precedes the 1872 Act and captures the evidentiary process by which infant mortality and paid infant nursing entered the legislative sphere. First few pages including title page with small loss at right page edge not affecting legibility; handwritten page numbers in upper right corners throughout; pages bright and clean; overall good. A substantial parliamentary source for research into Victorian child welfare infant mortality gendered labor public health law and the development of modern protective regulation. unknown
