Excerpt from How They Lived in Hampton: A Study of Practical Christianity Applied in the Manufacture of Woollens
The author supposes that this Essay on the Christian relations of the capitalist and the workman will be more generally read if it is presented in narrative form.
It is proper to say that the details bearing on the business of manufacture have the authority of a well-known and successful manufacturer of woollens.
I am myself the person who was invited, in 1873, by the proprietors of three different woollen mills, to take them and carry them on on the plan proposed. I received these invitations because I had blocked out this plan, or rather a manufacturer of large experience had blocked it out for me, in a story which I published at that time in Harper's Magazine, called "Back to Back."
