through the working-people's quarters of Manchester, if you should desire
to see the development of the factory system in a factory town, you may
wait long before these rich bourgeoisie will help you! These gentlemen
do not know in what condition their employees are nor what they want, and
they dare not know things which would make them uneasy or even oblige
them to act in opposition to their own interests. But, fortunately, that
is of no consequence: what the working-men have to carry out, they carry
out for themselves.

{211} Thomas Hood, the most talented of all the English humorists now
living, and, like all humorists, full of human feeling, but wanting in
mental energy, published at the beginning of 1844 a beautiful poem, "The
Song of the Shirt," which drew sympathetic but unavailing tears from the
eyes of the daughters of the bourgeoisie. Originally published in
