Excerpt from Dangerous Trades: The Historical, Social, and Legal Aspects of Industrial Occupations as Affecting Health, by a Number of Experts This is the first occasion on which, on the special lines indicated in this book, any adequate attempt has been made in this or any other country to deal with the conduct of trades and other occupations in respect to the dangers to life and health to which the workers are liable. The subject is year by year engrossing more of the attention of the public, and this has been evinced in many ways, the amount of space devoted by the Press to the subject of leadless-glaze in pottery, and to the manufacture of matches without phosphorus, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
