por 7 Scriven Report 1843 of the employment of children in the potteries.

£12.00

The Scriven Report of 1843 is the report that has received most attention in analysing the life of children in the potteries, many working long hours for just a few pence jus to avoid the family having to go into the workhouse. It contains the same methodology as the later contribution of Mr. Longe in 1862, nineteen years later.

This report was probably the best known of its time for the examination of working conditions for children taking statements from many of the children. In addition, interviews were taken from supervisors, department heads, managers, master potters and company bosses and therefore is the finest examination of working conditions on the 1840 used by scholars, university humanities and economic students as well as those looking into the causes of illness and deaths within the industry.
