Excerpt from On the History and Development of Gilds, and the Origin of Trade-UnionsWhat I Offer to the reader in the following pages is by no means a history of Gilds, complete and exhaustive. My desire has been simply to give a clear idea as to what the various kinds of Gilds were, and to sketch in free outlines how each kind of Gilds originated, grew powerful, and degenerated, on which the Gilds Of another class of citizens took their place. I have always taken special care to point out the analogies between the Old Gilds and those existing in our days among working-men, the Trade Unions and I shall indeed consider it the greatest reward for all my labour spent on this work, if it contributes to set the Trade Unions in a truer light.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
