There are two footnotes, which have been moved to directly follow the paragraphs in which they are referenced.
The full page drawings are also moved to avoid falling in mid-paragaph. The pages given in the list of illustrations refer to their original page numbers, but here serve as hyperlinks directly to the images. Their page numbers are skipped in the text itself.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
Corrected text will appear in the text as a link to the corresponding explanatory entry in the endnotes.

“GOD, by giving to man wants and making his recourse to work necessary to supply them, has made the right to work the property of every man; and this property is the first, the most sacred, the most imprescriptible of all.”—Turgot.
“THE right to work is the right to worship. The clink of the anvil and the hum of the harvest field, the music of the poet and the meditations of the inventor are chords in the anthem of creation.”—Henry D. Lloyd.
