A study of Sunday Legislation from the time of Constantine until 1888. The author "is not unaware" that this study "will overthrow many pleasant theories, and destroy some cherished hopes connected with Sunday legislation. Some minds deem it too sacrilegious to oppose these facts of history to revered notions, so long untouched."
