The People’s Day: An Appeal to Lord Stanley, Against His Advocacy of a French Sunday (1885)

The People's Day: An Appeal To Lord Stanley, Against His Advocacy Of A French Sunday (1885) is a book written by William Arthur. The book is a passionate appeal to Lord Stanley, who was advocating for a French-style Sunday, to reconsider his position. The author argues that the French Sunday, which involves the closure of all businesses and activities, is not suitable for England. He believes that the English Sunday, which allows for some leisure activities, is a better way to promote the physical and moral well-being of the people. The book is a well-researched and well-argued critique of the French Sunday and a defense of the English Sunday. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding the regulation of Sunday activities in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
