Description

First edition, 14 + 4pp., of adverts at end, final advert leaf frayed on outer margin, later paper wrappers. Michael Thomas Bass, the Burton-on-Trent brewer and M.P., was concerned with all questions relating to the welfare of the working classes. He requested Prof. Levi to institute a wide and methodical inquiry into the earnings of the working classes throughout the United Kingdom. Levi himself took a lively interest in the working classes and investigated their economic position in several works.****In a calculation made in 1871 it was demonstrated that ëthe yearly revenue derived from beer, wines and spirits amounted to about £28,000,000 being more than a third of the whole revenue. Messrs. Bass contributed upwards of £780 a day.í
