ABSTRACT

It is very clear, my Lord, that this family have reason bitterly to regret having ever come into the manu­ facturing districts.

The external appearance of this mill, and the cottages near, is very much superior to what we find in large manufacturing towns; and from what I saw and heard, I should say the interior bears a corresponding character. Messrs. J o n e s , B r o t h e r s , and Co., I was told, prefer employing the poor families who belong to the parish ; and consequently there is not that shifting and changing from place to place, to which the manufacturing labourers generally are too much accustomed.
