A very odd book that presents one hundred and thirteen \"laws\" for the operation of the author\&$\#$39;s iron works. It is borderline as a utopia\ but is included because it details all the daily activities of the workers in a large factory including \"welfare services\" and \"poor relief\".\ \ See the discussion in J.C. Davis,\ Utopia and the Ideal Society: A Study of English Utopian Writing 1516-1700\ (Cambridge, Eng.: Cambridge University Press, 1981), 351-55.
