Senior's 1837 letters to the Board of Trade on the Factory Act, together with replies from Leonard Horner, Ashworth, and Thomson. They oppose shortening the working day for young workers, arguing with figures from the cotton trade that profit comes from the last hours of work. The pamphlet is the source of the notorious 'last hour' argument later attacked by Marx.
