Letters On The Factory Act: As It Affects The Cotton Manufacture: Addressed To The President Of The Board Of Trade (1837) is a book written by Nassau William Senior. The book is a collection of letters that Senior wrote to the President of the Board of Trade in 1837, addressing the Factory Act and its impact on the cotton manufacturing industry. The Factory Act was a piece of legislation passed in 1833 that aimed to regulate the working conditions of factory workers, particularly children. Senior, who was an economist and political theorist, was critical of the Act and believed that it would have negative consequences for the cotton manufacturing industry. In his letters, Senior argues that the Act would lead to a decrease in productivity and ultimately harm the economy. The book provides an interesting perspective on the debates surrounding the Factory Act and its impact on the cotton manufacturing industry in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
