Synopsis
Excerpt from The Huddersfield Industrial Society Limited: History of Fifty Years' Progress, L860-1910
Having myself, for over thirty-two years, taken a somewhat active part in the affairs of the Society, I trust that I have written the following pages in an impartial spirit, and, as Shakespeare says, Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
The first and second chapters, although not directly relating to our Society, will, I hope, be found interesting and useful as affording a glimpse of the social and indus trial conditions which formerly o'btained in this district, and the efforts our forefathers made to propagate the principles of Co-operation.
I wish to thankfully.acknowledge the valuable and cordial assistance I have received from Mr. J. T. Pren'tis (the Secretary of our Society) in my work of compilation.
