Serpents In Hedges: A Plea For Moderation In The Hours Employed In Business is a book written by Samuel Martin in 1850. The book is a call for moderation in the amount of time spent working. Martin argues that excessive work hours can have negative consequences on both physical and mental health, as well as on family and social life. He uses the metaphor of serpents in hedges to describe the dangers of overworking, stating that just as serpents can hide in hedges and strike unexpectedly, overwork can lead to unexpected health problems and personal issues. Martin also provides examples of societies where shorter work hours have led to greater happiness and productivity. Overall, Serpents In Hedges is a compelling argument for the importance of work-life balance and the need for employers to prioritize the well-being of their employees.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
