The Cry Of The Children: An Exposure Of Certain British Industries In Which Children Are Iniquitously Employed (1898)

By Frank Hird

Book Overview

The Cry of the Children is a book written by Frank Hird in 1898. It is an expos����� of certain British industries in which children are employed under iniquitous conditions. The book sheds light on the exploitation of children in industries such as coal mining, textile mills, and factories, where they are made to work for long hours in hazardous conditions for meager wages. Hird highlights the physical, mental, and emotional toll that this kind of work takes on children, and argues that it is a violation of their basic human rights. The book also includes testimonies from children who have experienced the harsh realities of working in these industries. The Cry of the Children is a passionate call to action, urging society to take a stand against the exploitation of children and to demand better working conditions and protections for them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
