(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892. Excerpt: ... "OUR FOREIGN COMPETITORS:" TLbcit %ifc an& Xabour. INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER. The principal object in publishing the articles forming this little volume upon Continental labour life is to prove to English hand workers that the life led by their Continental brethren is not so wholly void of pleasure as they are sometimes led to believe, neither are the hand workers of Europe advancing so rapidly towards increase of wages, and decrease of working hours, as certain English leaders of the "time and wages" movement have asserted. I have had most exceptional opportunities of studying labour life in most of the countries in Europe, from Greece to Scandinavia; but it will be seen that most of the articles deal with the four great competitors of England--Germany, Austria, Belgium, and France; and especially with Germany and Austria. For in the future, it appears to me, these are the two countries we have to carefully watch. Those who study the Board of Trade returns will exclaim, "Austria cannot harm us, for from her we do not import a couple of millions per annum." But, knowing the mass of goods that is continually being sent from nearly every village in Austria to England, those returns appeared to me unreliable; and on writing to the Board of Trade the explanation was given in the reply received, that, "Considerable quantities of Austro-Hungarian goods must reach this country by way of Germany, and such goods will appear in the British trade returns as imports from Germany, in absence of any declaration as to their actual country of origin." This explanation is necessary to excuse the space given to Austrian competition in face of the returns. The amount of incredulity shown here by both hand workers and employers upon the low wages earned in Austria and Germany has...

Excerpt from A Forgotten Great Englishman: Or the Life and Work of Peter Payne, the Wycliffite In sending forth this volume upon a most interesting and momentous period of the worlds history, I plead for it fair and generous criticism. I have tried to deal with the subject in no narrow sectarian spirit. Tracing the material for it has been a most interesting and even exciting occupation; and as the wild yet earnest life of the time has passed under review, with all its fierce cruelties, jealous hatreds, and hot passion, the sense of how much we in these later days owe to Wycliffe and Payne and their followers in Bohemia has deepened. They were among the first in medieval Europe to make a firm stand against the corrupt dominance of the Roman Catholic system over the souls of men.
