Description
Excerpt from The Spirit of Association: Being Some Account of the Gilds, Friendly Societies, Co-Operative Movement, and Trade Unions of Great Britain
Though it was necessary for me to confine myself to the more beaten tracks, it appeared to me that a short account of the four great forms of spontaneous voluntary associations in Great Britain might prove useful. The perplexing industrial struggles which agitate society to-day have their roots in the con?icts Of past ages, and it is necessary to invoke the witness of history to throw light upon the impulses which guide the great demo cratic movements of our own times.
