The present publication has been framed for the simple purpose of promoting the working of the recent Act passed to regulate the employment of Children in Agricultural pursuits (36 & 37 Vict. c. 67). And in order to carry out this object the better, a kindred Act concerning Agricultural Gangs (30 & 31 Vict. c. 130) has also been dealt with.
The Notes are of the most simple character; they have been put together with the idea that this brochure will reach the hands of many persons who hitherto have not had much (or any) occasion to concern themselves with Acts of Parliament of any kind.
I shall at all times be glad to receive hints calculated to improve the usefulness of the work should a second edition be called for.
