Quote	"Stunned by the thought, he sank upon the seat, almost crushed with the knowledge of the consequences of his own actions; for he had no more imagined himself the blighted home, and the miserable parents, than does the soldier, who discharges his musket, picture to himself the desolation of the wife, and the pitiful cries of the helpless little ones, who are in an instant to be made widowed and fatherless."
Review	I loved this book. And, I learned quite a bit about the English textile industry.
