Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2007
Abstract
Here, we had better stop, though we have not told half that might be related on the subject of buttons. It is wonderful, is it not? That on that small pivot turns the fortune of such multitudes of men, women, and children, in so many parts of the world; that such industry; and so many fine faculties, should be brought out and exercised by so small a thing as the Button.
—“What There Is in a Button,” Harriet Martineau (1852)
