“‘The history of trade unionism,’ is issued in a revised edition. The original work, published in 1894, broke off in 1890. The present edition carries the story on to the beginning of 1920. There is little alteration in the main part of the book, which describes the origin and progress of trade unionism in the United Kingdom.”—Springf’d Republican
