PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE, a novel by Charles Reade, published in 1870. The scene is laid in an English manufacturing town, and the story narrates the struggles of Henry Little, workman and inventor, against the jealousy and prejudice of the trades unions. Like all of Reade's stories, ‘Put Yourself in His Place’ has a wealth of dramatic incident, and moves with dash and vigor. It is notable for its underlying purpose of exposing without censure the errors of early trades unions.
