Excerpt from Four Lectures on the Law of Employers Liability at Home and AbroadWe were once a nation of shopkeepers, and our ideas corresponded with our vocation. \ve are now, so far as we have not all gone upon the Stock Exchange, a vast industrial enter prise, carried on by night as well as day, by shifts of men, and amidst the hideous hum of machinery. The problems that to-day demand solution, if justice is to be done between man and man, require wider views and a set of ideas which never crossed the minds of the Temple-bred judges of the last generation, who, perched on high, and usually amenable to no more searching tribunal than two of their Brethren sitting in Banco, not only inter preted with an easy mind contracts between employers and their workmen, but read into those contracts terms and provisions of which neither of the contracting parties had ever heard, and few of them even yet understand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
