special processes exclusively to the charge of specially expert hands. The
result of these circumstances is that the products of Swedish industry are,
as a rule, of excellent quality, but not infrequently so dear to the purchaser
that it is difficult for them to compete with goods imported from countries
where manufactures can be carried on on so much vaster a scale. A
contributory cause to the expensiveness of Swedish manufactured goods
is also the fact, to which attention has latterly been called, that the
Swedish workman not seldom lacks desirable intensity in his labour.
The facts enumerated above will be enough to account for only few
