Excerpt from Working Men Co-Operators: What They Have Done, and What They Are Doing, an Account of the Artisan's Co-Operative Movement in Great Britain, With Information How to Promote It
This book has been written partly in the hope that it may perhaps be useful to some who, not knowing much about the Co-operative Movement, wish for a short and simple account of it, and partly to meet the needs of certain classes which are being started among Co-operators for the systematic study of Co-operation, its aims, its work, and its principles. A cheap elementary text-book for use by both teachers and pupils seemed to be much needed.
For fuller and further information on the many subjects here dealt with, reference must be made to the various publications of the Co-operative Union. We are indebted to many books and many men for our information, and for our own education in Cooperative work; but we have made no attempt in this book to mention the names of the Co-operators who have been of most service to the movement, partly for want of space, but partly because if the best known names only were mentioned a great injustice would be done to others, who, though less known, have done work which has been invaluable. Some names of outsiders have been mentioned, but, as a rule, names of Co-operators have been given only in the foot-notes, and here solely with a view of enabling easier reference by those unacquainted with Co-operative literature to the writings which we may happen to quote from or mention.
