These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Life in a Railway Factory: Look inside the book: My object in penning “Life in a Railway Factory” was to take advantage of the opportunities I have had as a workman, during twenty-three years’ continuous service in the sheds, of setting down what I have seen and known for the interest and education of others, who might like to be informed as to what is the actual life of the factory, but who have no means of ascertaining it from the generality of literature published upon the matter. ...Then the dark lowering clouds sweep along the downs and shut them out of view, or grey mist fills the intervening valley, or the rain, falling in torrents or driving in the furious south-west gale, hides it completely; or if it is at all visible under the cold sky, it seems so far removed and the distance so intensified as to lose all resemblance to a hill and to look like a dim blue cloud faintly seen on the horizon, and which is no more than a suggestion, a shape phantasmal.

Excerpt from Howrah The deep channel alternates from left to right and vice cersa according to the windings of the river, except where deflected by the large tributaries which debouch into it at the southern limit of this district. Proceeding from Howrah Bridge, the deep channel runs on the Calcutta side in the Calcutta Reach past the Fort and Kidderpore to Garden Reach. At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.

In this book, Alfred Williams wrote a vivid and honest account of life in the Great Western Railway Works in Swindon in the early 1900s. Williams, who worked at the factory for over two decades, describes every aspect of the enterprise from the workers' point of view, and spares no criticism for the bosses, foremen, and capitalism itself. Despite this, the book is not a theoretical critique of economics, but rather an expression of Williams' personal experiences and observations. He covers a wide range of topics, including labor unrest, the composition of the workforce, the physical effects of working in the factory, and the psychology of workers. This is a fascinating and unvarnished look at life in a railway factory, and an important historical document.
Excerpt from Social Facts and Forces: The Factory-the Labor Union, the Corporation-the Railway-the City-the Church His book is an attempt to discover in what manner the well-being of the people is affected by the changes which are taking place in our industrial and social life. The interest of all these studies is primarily ethical; what kind of men and women we are getting to be is the thing I wish to know. The reader will soon find out that these words have been spoken; their direct and familiar style will make that plain; I should like to have him feel that they are spoken to him.

Excerpt from Old Ninety-Four, the Boy Engineer's Pride, or Life and Luck on the Rail Old Jason sat in the cab window with his hand on the throttle and his rugged face looking into the wall of mist ahead. The boy fireman shoveled coal into the furnace and kept the steam up to a high mark. It was a fast run from Ster ling to White Lake and the stretch of one hundred miles was done in less than two hours, as a usual thing. There were but three stops. The rest was swift driving over long grades, around great curves, through a quarter mile tunnel and over many bridges. The S. W. L. Was a double track road, so that there was little danger of one train meeting another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
