Excerpt from Labour Stands on Golden Feet: Or, the Life of a Foreign Workman; A Holiday Story for Sensible Apprentices, Journeymen, and Masters I have written a tale, said the Author to me, in as attractive a style as possible; and in it are embodied, I believe, some of my best thoughts. My fellow-countrymen and countrywomen will read it, I am sure; but I would like it to be made known wherever the working classes constitute the real strength of a nation. If ever you have the leisure, and see an opportunity, translate it, to help on the cause at which I have laboured, now well nigh half a century, uninterruptedly.
