Excerpt from Through the Mill, the Life of a Mill-Boy
How many thousand pens are busy reporting and recording mill life! It is a splendid commentary on the fineness of our social conscience that there are so many champions on behalf of overworked boys and girls.
Coming now, to take its place among the multitudes of investigations and faithful records of factory life, is this frank, absolutely real and dispassionate Autobiography - written by a mill boy who has lived the experiences of this book. So far as can be found this is the first time that such an Autobiography has been printed in English.
Since its appearance in the Outlook, the Autobiography has been entirely rewritten and new chapters have been added, so that the book will be practically new to any one who chanced to read the Outlook chapters.
