| Summary | "The Boy's Book of Trades and the Tools Used in Them" by Anonymous is an instructional work written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive guide explores various trades, detailing the tools and processes involved in each profession, providing readers—especially young boys—valuable insights into the vocational paths available during that era. Each chapter is poised to illuminate a different trade, from brickmaking to carpentry, thereby highlighting the importance and dignity of skilled labor. The opening of the book lays the foundation for its theme by emphasizing the significance of choosing a trade, suggesting that happiness is largely dependent on work and the manner in which it is performed. The introduction further mentions the perils of idleness and aims to inspire young readers to engage in meaningful labor. Following this, the first trade discussed is that of brickmaking. It provides a historical overview of brickmaking, dating back to ancient civilizations, and describes the process and tools involved in creating bricks, setting a practical tone for the instructional content that will follow on various other trades.
