Excerpt from The History of Co-Operation in England, Vol. 2: Its Literature and Its Advocates; The Constructive Period 1845 to 1878 IN inscribing this volume to Mr. Bright, representative of my own town of Birmingham, I do it, as an acknowledg ment - by one of the working class - of how much we all owe to him. There will be in the book what may appear to his greater experience and discernment, errors not merely of argument but of principle. In prefixing his name to these pages, I do not imply his concurrence in all that appears in them, I only assume his generous tolerance which I well know, for all sincere effort for the industrial improvement of the working-class, and his pride in the honourable distinction so large a portion of his poorer townsmen have won.
