Literary Links of Interest for this chapter

 

• The Lyceum in N&S is a bit like the Oakdale Workmen's Institute at St Fagans in Wales.
• Luke 16:19–31—iffin you want to read about Lazarus and the Rich Man.
• In 1799 and 1800 laws that banned unionizing were passed, then repealed in 1824, so there's nothing illegal about what Higgins and the men are doing.
