Price: $375.00
Unbound. First edition. One folio leaf folded to make 16pp. A little soiled, and the date (1871) inked on the first page, near fine. An interesting labor pamphlet urging better working conditions, hours, and pay for labor. Riley was an Anglo-American radical whose conversion to socialism followed his purchase of a first edition of *Leaves of Grass* by Walt Whitman in 1857. He later became a friend of Karl Marx. Both *COPAC* and *OCLC* locate a single copy, at the University of Newcastle.
