A scholarly article found online provides a flavor of the issues addressed in this book - it cites this and related books: "Common law notions about the employment relationship grew out of the law of domestic relations (8), and revealingly, leading commentators continued to treat the law governing employment relations (i.e., master and servant) as a part of that field until the early years of the twentieth century. (9) Treatises on the law of domestic relations thus continued to be the chief repository of commentary on employment law until well after the century's turn. As late as 1889, for example, one leading treatise on domestic relations law, in its treatment of the master-servant relationship (which comprises roughly one-third of the treatise's content), defined servant as persons commonly known in popular speech as workmen or employees. . . . In this class are included day laborers, factory operatives, miners, colliers, and numerous others, of whom nothing more definite can be said than that they are hired to perform services of a somewhat unambitious character.(10) (8) In his analytic scheme of the common law, Blackstone grouped master and servant, husbandand wife, and parent and child under The Law of Persons, characterizing these as "[t]he three greatrelations in private life." 1 W. BLACKSTONE, COMMENTARIES 410 (1979). (9) See, e.g., I. BROWNE, ELEMENTS OF THE LAW OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS AND OF EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED (2d ed. 1890); E.
