CreatorRichter, John

DescriptionFull title: "The Origin, Object and Operation of The Apprentice Laws; with their application to times page, present, and to come. Addressed to The Committee of General Purposes of the City of London, by the Committee of Manufacturers of London and its Vicinity." Second edition.

Pamphlet written by textile manufacturers claiming to analyse the new Apprenticeship laws "temperately and deliberately." The authors oppose the "unliminted extension" of the Apprentice Laws: "While they remained unexecuted, their continuance on the Books was of little consequence; but when such gigantic power is claimed, it becomes necessary to annihilate them for ever."
