THE LABOUR LAWS. BY JAMES EDWARD DAVIS, OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW; LATE POLICE MAGISTRATE FOR SHEFFIELD, LONDON: BUTTERWORTHS, 7, FLEET STREET, T. & T. CLARK AND BELL & BRADFUTE, EDINBURGH. SMITH & SON, GLASGOW. HODGES, FOSTER & CO., GRAFTON STREET, DUBLIN. TO THE RIGHT HONBLE. THE EARL OF LICHFIELD. DEAR LORD Lichfield, There is no one to whom a critical examination, divested of all party considerations, of the changes effected in the Labour Laws of this country could be more appropriately dedicated than to your Lordship. I therefore hope you will permit me to connect your name with these pages, and thus give me an opportunity of saying what a lively recollection I have of hours of earnest conversation at Shugborough and elsewhere on various public questions, and how sincerely I am Your Lordship's faithful Servant, THE TEMPLE, 1st October, 1875. JAMES EDWARD DAVIS. |
