For those wishing to know: another pamphlet against the plan to open the 
Crystal Palace to the working classes on Sunday afternoon in 1853. 
Originally Rev. Weir preached it as a sermon because the clergy of the 
parish had decided to unite against the plan, and he was then encouraged 
to publish it.  He makes the point that having the morning for religion 
and the rest of the day for holiday, was a Catholic practice, and if 
England followed she'd be in trouble.

All the best,
David,
