Notes: The Labourer's Friend was an important early polemical magazine, arguing for improvements in the working conditions of labourers, both urban and agricultural. These issues contain a great deal on housing matters: model lodging houses and rural cottages, pauper colonies, experimental farms, cottage garden societies. Fascinating item in nice condition.
