A first-person magazine essay from All The Year Round describing a visit to the Lancashire cotton-mill districts around Burnley, Accrington, Padiham and Blackburn. The narrator observes the often cool, wary relations between mill owners and operatives, discusses reading-rooms and lectures for mill hands, and tours a model mill, including its engine, weaving shed and frugal use of power and waste. It closes with an imagined weaver's view of his employer's wealth, and promises later papers on the subject.
