Hours of Work and Play is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe in 1867. The book is a collection of essays that explores the balance between work and leisure time, and the importance of both. Cobbe argues that a balance between work and leisure is necessary for a healthy and fulfilling life. She also discusses the impact of the Industrial Revolution on working conditions, and the need for workers to have more leisure time. The book is a reflection of the Victorian era, when the concept of leisure time was just starting to emerge as a social concept. It is an important work that sheds light on the changing attitudes towards work and leisure in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
