"Work is the best of narcotics, providing the patient be strong enough to take it. I dread idleness as if it were Hell." -Beatrice Webb, My Apprenticeship The History of Trade Unionism (1919), by Sidney and Beatrice Webb, is a detailed account of the roots and development of the British trade union movement. Originally published in 1894, this 1919 expanded edition was based on research the authors had collected when Sidney Webb was on the faculty of the London School of Economics. It was especially influential in several global socialist movements and was translated into Russian by Vladimir Lenin.

Webb, Sidney: - SIDNEY JAMES WEBB (1859-1947) was an economist, reformer, and prominent British politician. As a member of the Fabian Society, he helped found the London School of Economics and became a Professor of Public Administration. Active in the Labour Party, he served as Secretary of State for the Colonies and as Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs. Subsequently, he was elected to Parliament and given the title Baron Passfield. BEATRICE WEBB (1858-1943) was a recognized authority on the causes of poverty and a member of the Fabian Society. There she met her husband, Sidney Webb, with whom she shared a deep commitment to populist causes. While helping with her husband's political projects and active in the Labor Party, Webb was also highly regarded as a diarist, letter-writer, and memoirist.
