1877015993Roma: Botta 1877. Un volume 235 cm di 143 pagine; intonso a fogli ancora chiusi. Brossura editoriale. Ottime condizioni. L'inchiesta verte sul lavoro delle donne e dei fanciulli. Il Ministero aveva accertato che i ragazzi impiegati nell'industria non comprese le miniere ammontavano nel 1871 a 132.489 dei quali 28.844 al di sotto dei quindici anni e fra questi ultimi la grande maggioranza bambine. Le risposte che vengono date ai questionari ministeriali da parte delle camere di commercio prefetti e sindaci fanno oggi rabbrividire: Ad eccezione dei filatoi dove le bambine sono ammesse anche all'età di 6 e 7 anni avviene di rado che i fanciulli comincino a lavorare prima dei 9 anni spiegano a Cuneo. Ma la situazione non è diversa a nord e a sud. L'orario di lavoro per tutti compresi i bambini si aggira sulle 12 ore con un intervallo variabile per la colazione. Le malattie riscontrate nell'inchiesta non vengono attribuite al lavoro in fabbrica che anzi viene considerato come civilizzatore. La gran parte delle autorità e degli imprenditori intervistati è contrario ad un intervento per legge che limiti il lavoro dei fanciulli e delle donne. Che peraltro arriverà solo nel 1886. - Importante e non comune. Botta unknown

1879List2997Big Spring Virginia 1879. Handbill measuring 8 ¾ x 11 ¾ inches. Marginal damage especially to top; marked in pencil at top left; very good. A handbill describing a process for curing tobacco patented in 1879 by John W. Barnett of Big Spring a town in northern Virginia. Tobacco has long been a hugely important cash crop in the region; in 1860 Virginia was the top tobacco producer in the United States by a large margin. During the Civil War production in Virginia dropped precipitously and bounced back slowly but surely over the next decades.1 Barnett goes into great detail specifying exact times and temperatures for the process; for instance for the first twelve hours the fires should be renewed every two hours and twenty-four minutes. The process involves using water around the fires which slows the curing process. We find six copies of this handbill on OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Benjamin William Arnold “History of the Tobacco Industry in Virginia from 1860 to 1894†in Johns Hopkins University Studies in History and Political Science Fifteenth Series ed.

Official Council blindstamp at the bottom right corner. Very Good. <br /> <br /> The Sovereigns of Industry established in 1874 grew out of the Patrons of Husbandry a mutual aid society for farmers. The Sovereigns sought members among all workingmen not just farmers. Its purpose articulated by its founder William H. Earle of Massachusetts was "elevating the character improving the condition of and as far as possible perfecting the happiness of the laboring classes" through the establishment of consumer cooperatives. The cooperative network would allow workers to "control the whole of what they produce and exchange it as near as may be even with other hand-workers thus saving to themselves the fortunes which those who are devoted to manipulating other people's labour and to getting rich thereby have heretofore taken by extortion."
