'The topics covered in this book can be divided into four broad groups; studies of labour conditions up to the middle of the nineteenth century; studies in the 'new trade unionism' of 1889-1914; studies in the late nineteenth-century revival of Socialism in Britain; and more general topics covering a wider chronological span.  The common factor in this wide-ranging work is that, unlike much other work of labour history, it concentrates on the working classes as such, and on the economic and technical conditions which allowed labour movements to be effective or which prevented their effectiveness.'
