Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Moral and Religious Education of the Working Classes: The Speech of Lord Ashley, M. P., In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, February 28, 1843
Sir, - The question, that I have undertaken to submit to the deliberation of this House, is one so prodigiously vast, and.eo unspeakably important, that there may well be demanded an apology, if not an explanation, from any individual member who presumes to handle so weighty and so difficult a matter. And, Sir, had any real difference of opinion existed, I should probably have refrained from the task; but late events have, I fear, proved that the moral condition of our people is unhealthy and even peri lous - all are pretty nearly agreed that something further must be attempted for their welfare and I now venture, therefore, to offer, for the discussion, both matter and Opportunity.
