shown in the excerpt from The Working Mans Companion subtitled The
Employment, which was published in 1831. It states that the industrial revolution
provided, an infinite number of comforts and conveniences within the reach of
almost all men, while everyday is adding something to your comforts. This article
states that the revolution had a positive effect in the way that it benefits the man
by making everyday things easier. This article is stating the views, that this
revolution made, was creating comforts for every man without acknowledging the
parts of children being killed daily for the making and use of the products by these
so called, men. Another excerpt from Andrew Ures article, The Philosophy of
Manufactures, proclaims that in his travels to many factories he, never saw a

apartments too often ill-aired, damp, and cold. This document shows that working
The Industrial Revolution Effects shows that British iron production from 1740-1900
increased drastically. Iron production went from 17,350 tons in 1740, to 9,000,000

were nearly torn out, and his arms were broken. This testimony shows that children
were killed and extremely injured due to the lack of safety regulations and a lack of
Other affects of the Industrial Revolution are very neutral and dont really
have a positive or negative affect, but rather a neutral one. Evidence of this is
shown in a brief script from a pamphlet published in 1797, by the Society for
Bettering the Condition and Increasing the Comforts of the Poor. This
article states, 500 hundred children who are entirely fed, clothed, and educated
by Mr. Dale all of whom are capable of work are employed in and about the mills.

Ltd., 1969). This excerpt states, the soil of which did not yield sufficient food
order and comfort. This exclaims that though the people didnt have enough food,
