"In the mid-1800s, some citizens of New York became alarmed at the neglect of the 'Sabbath Day' believing that with the increased number of immigrants to the city, it was being outstripped in its capacity to meet the needs of a moral and religious culture. They believed that the government and its laws were also not working towards the continued reverence of the Sabbath. The first meeting of the New York Sabbath Committee took place on April 1, 1857. The group consisted of about twenty members, including a number of leading Christians connected with eight denominations. The group did not have plans to undertake extreme measures in society; their primary goal was to remind the citizens of the importance of the Sabbath Day. They would do this via the pulpit, the press, and personal influence." - [Quoted from an article published by Columbia University Libraries].The contents of the volume are as follows:A) THE SABBATH IN NEW YORK. 1.
