Notes:

"'The board of management of the Early Closing Association are anxious it should be understood that, in the measures they are taking, they are not influenced by any undue amount of regard for the poor man, assistant, warehouseman, or clerk as such, but rather by the desire to promote the physical and social comfort, and moral elevation of the great body of industrial classes.'--From the statement read at a meeting held at the Guildhall, London, on the 15th day of August, 1855, for the promotion of weekly-half-holidays."
