Description
This is an entertaining novel. The many characters of the story are drawn with skill, and impress their individuality upon the reader, and the interest is well sustained. But the book is something more than a novel. It was written to exhibit the workings of co-operation in a manufacturing town. Hope Mills, having been closed by a panic and the dishonesty of the manager, are re-opened as a joint stock concern by the operatives. The difficulties and final success of the enterprise are portrayed in a lively narrative.
Description taken from the back of the 1893 edition of Bethia Wray's New Name, published by Lee and Shepard.
