Working conditions in Irish industry prior to 1914 were frequently harsh and dangerous, particularly for women, young persons, and children. Successive Factory Acts, designed primarily for industrial conditions in Great Britain, sought to ameliorate the plight of these 'protected' workers in the face of considerable opposition. This book examines the development of this early health and safety legislation, the system of inspection by which it was enforced and the peculiar problems which the factory inspectors encountered in Ireland while seeking to ensure that minimum standards were observed notwithstanding local social and economic constraints. -- Publisher description.

This is a unique account of working-class childhood during the British industrial revolution, first published in 2010. Using more than 600 autobiographies written by working men of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Jane Humphries illuminates working-class childhood in contexts untouched by conventional sources and facilitates estimates of age at starting work, social mobility, the extent of apprenticeship and the duration of schooling. The classic era of industrialisation, 1790–1850, apparently saw an upsurge in child labour. While the memoirs implicate mechanisation and the division of labour in this increase, they also show that fatherlessness and large subsets, common in these turbulent, high-mortality and high-fertility times, often cast children as partners and supports for mothers struggling to hold families together. The book offers unprecedented insights into child labour, family life, careers and schooling. Its images of suffering, stoicism and occasional childish pleasures put the humanity back into economic history and the trauma back into the industrial revolution.
