The Chimney-Sweeper's Complaint is a book written by William Holloway in 1806. It is a collection of poems that shed light on the plight of chimney sweepers during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book highlights the inhumane working conditions and exploitation that the young boys faced while working as chimney sweepers. The poems also touch upon the themes of poverty, child labor, and the class divide prevalent in the society at that time. The Chimney-Sweeper's Complaint is a powerful commentary on the social injustices of the time and a call for reform. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of child labor and the fight for workers' rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
