Item Description

This Chartist pamphlet urges the working classes to unite to demand the vote for all, secret voting and annual parliaments. Chartists believed that education was the best way to fight poverty and to promote an improvement in conditions for the working classes. The proposed Working Men's Association planned to form a library and to obtain copies of all the Radical newspapers so that their members would be politically aware. The objects of the Association, Qualifications for Membership and other regulations are appended.
