Formerly articles were manufactured at the domestic
hearth or in small shops (that) formed part of the
household. The master and his apprentices worked side by

to the same conditions. When these apprentices rose to be
masters, there was little or no change in their mode of life,
and they, in turn, educated in the same routine succeeding
apprentices."
