Excerpt from The Factory Legislation of the State of New York In the preparation of this monograph I have incurred obligations for assistance rendered by a great number of persons. To make individual acknowledgement to all is not possible, but the debt is none the less keenly felt. My special gratitude is due to Professor Henry W. Farnam of Yale University, upon Whom I have relied constantly for invaluable suggestion and criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
