Contract reform, its necessity shewn in respect to the shoemaker, soldier, sailor, &c. : being a revealment of, and argument against, the system so long practised and still carried on, of permitting the large and in every way important contracts of boots and shoes for the Army, Navy, etc. : to be taken up by parties who are wholly ignorant of the manufacture and thus to the altogether evil results of the work proving badly executed! Badly wearing!! And so much public money badly expended!!! / by James Dacres Devlin, author of several works on the trade, and general agent for the British boot and shoe interests during the late Universal Exhibition at Paris.
