Ure provides a detailed analysis of the scientific, moral, and commercial aspects of manufacturing, with a particular focus on the economic benefits of the factory system. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of manufacturing, the role of machinery and technology, the organization of labor, and the impact of the factory system on society as a whole.

However, he also acknowledges the challenges and drawbacks of the system, including the potential for exploitation and the need for regulation and oversight.
