FOOTNOTES.

{5} Lesson for the day, Ezek. xx., comp. verses 12, 13, 16, 20, 21, and 24.

{21} See Note A at the end.

{25} The following statement, supplied to me from a private source which may be implicitly relied on, will sufficiently justify several of the foregoing remarks:—

“There are no less than seven public-houses now in course of
erection, or about to be erected, near the Crystal Palace, one of
which is to cost £30,000, and to contain stabling for 500 horses,
tea-gardens, &c. The road leading from Anerly is literally thronged
from ten to six o’clock every Sunday, and persons of all grades are
to be seen there, some selling by the wayside, others gambling; and
in the roads on either sides of the way scenes of the most revolting
nature are taking place in open daylight.

“A labouring man, some two or three months since, took a small
cottage and large garden in the Anerly road, and opened it as a
beer-house and tea-gardens, and he now has from _four to five hundred
persons_ in his ground on the Sabbath day. Many more particulars of
a like kind might be added, but with great difficulty, owing to the
_secrecy observed by all parties_.”
