Introduction To A History Of The Factory System (1886) is a book written by Richard Whately Cooke Taylor which provides an in-depth analysis of the factory system that emerged during the Industrial Revolution in Britain. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the historical context and development of the factory system, while the second part focuses on the social and economic impact of the system on British society.Taylor begins by examining the origins of the factory system, tracing its roots back to the cottage industry and the rise of mechanization. He then discusses the growth of the factory system, its impact on the textile industry, and the changes it brought about in the working conditions of the labor force. The book also explores the role of technology in the development of the factory system, including the introduction of steam power and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the British economy.The second part of the book examines the social and economic impact of the factory system on British society. Taylor discusses the working conditions of factory workers, including the long hours, low wages, and dangerous working conditions that were common in many factories. He also examines the impact of the factory system on the family structure, the role of women and children in the workforce, and the growth of urbanization.Overall, Introduction To A History Of The Factory System (1886) is a comprehensive analysis of the factory system that emerged during the Industrial Revolution in Britain. It provides a detailed account of the historical context, development, and impact of the system on British society, making it an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Industrial Revolution and its impact on modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
