Excerpt from The Brassworkers of Berlin and of Birmingham: A Comparison This report records the observations and conclusions arrived at during a visit to Berlin which was instituted for the purpose of enquiring whether the brassworkers in that city have succeeded in attaining a more desirable physical and industrial life than that led by the brassworkers of Birmingham, and if such be the case, as has been asserted, to endeavour to get below the surface, and to enquire into their ideals and the method of working their institutions, and to obtain information as to the main lines of policy which differ from our own. The report concerns Berlin in particular, and compares not Berlin as a capital with Birmingham as a provincial city, but the condition of the brassworker in one city with that of the same worker in another city - the dominant idea being that what can be done in Berlin ought to be done in Birmingham if it is better, irrespective of the size and position of the two cities. We have to thank the President of the Poor Law Board, Town Councillor Dr. Münsterberg, the Lord Mayor of Berlin, Dr. Kirschner, and the President of the "National Old Age and Infirmity Institution, " Dr. Jur. Richard Freund, for their letters of introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
