WALLAS, GRAHAM. Life of Francis Place, 1771–1854. 3d ed *$3.50 Knopf
A20–157
“The American edition of Graham Wallas’ life of Francis Place is chiefly a reprint of the original edition printed in 1898. The career of Francis Place spanned the beginnings and the early development of the industrial revolution. Born in 1771, he was a young man when the fires of the French revolution illuminated the world. He was a trade unionist when unions were outlawed by Parliament as conspiracies. He engaged in bitter industrial struggles and paid those terrible penalties which are exacted only of working men who are loyal to their fellows. He became a liberal, and after he had made a fortune he was an influence in the politics of the kingdom. To his efforts are attributable some of the important beginnings of social legislation.”—Survey
