Sadler report
The Sadler Report is a spectacular report by Tory MP Michael Thomas Sadler (1780–1835) from 1832 on conditions during the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain. Sadler tried to enforce a ten-hour law for child labor with particularly gruesome accounts .
Friedrich Engels wrote about the report:
"Sadler allowed himself to be led into the most crooked and inaccurate assertions by his noble passion. The very nature of his questions lured the witnesses into answers that were true, but in the wrong, crooked form."
