For those wishing to know: when the Government was minded to open the 
Crystal Palace (1853) to the public on Sunday afternoons there was a large 
outcry from the religious groups and many pamphlets, books etc. written. 
However, it was also denounced in sermons across the country, of which 
this is one, from Hurdsfield, Macclesfield, Cheshire.  Unlike many of the 
pamphlets this was "preaching to the converted" and Farrar uses the Bible 
a lot more than the others.

All the best,
David
