- Notes: 18 March: "... My own point of view does not exactly coincide either with that of Mr. Thornton or with that of the Edinburgh Reviewer to whom he refers, and of course I must be free to express my own view and that only. Mr. Thornton is certainly a defender of Trades Unions to the extent of thinking that their existence is an important defence and protection to the operatives and that they often cause a rise in wages when, though right and desirable, it would not otherwise have taken place. On these points I think Mr. Thornton has fully made out his case..."
