To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Digitized by VjOOQ IC TDE GUILDS, THBIR NUMBEB AND INFLUENCB 143 A long and arduous apprenticeship was required before a man could become a workman. Every mistake was punished with a fine, and any glaring violation of mo- rality or infringement of the law by expulsion from the order.
Each of these trades-companies had its own chapel, and generally its own hospital, as well as its herberg^ or house of call, in which were preserved its charters and other public documents. The members made their o...wn internal laws, and discussed collectively all matters re- lating to their common interests. Each association was presided over by a deacon, or deJcen^ elected by the mem- bers, but rarely from among their ranks. Each had its own tribunal, from whose decision there was no appeal.
Thus the guilds formed little republics within the com- munes or towns, greatly curtailing individual freedom of action, but giving a strength of co-operation much needed in the rude age of feudal tyranny. By the fourteenth century they had become so numerous that we find fifty- two at Bruges and fifty-nine at Ghent.* In the nineteenth century, with its hurry and bustle, the anxiety of every man to make more money than his neighbor, and the blind admiration of accumulated wealth, the guild system of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries seems like a peaceful dream.
