Excerpt from The Friendly Society Movement: Its Origin, Rise, and Growth; Its Social, Moral, and Educational Influences; The Affiliated Orders
In sending out into the wide world of literature this little history, a selection only of materials collected has been laid under contribution, our publishers being desirous (and wisely so) of not raising the price to a figure prohibitive to the sale of a handbook on the subject among members. To enable this to be done, the earlier history of the 'Movement' had to be cut down to the minimum. Should the present instalment meet with a reception that would warrant a succeeding volume, societies other than the Affiliated Orders may be dealt with; but the latter have such a distinctive character of their own, and stand so apart by themselves in constitution and government, that it has been thought the better plan to reserve Centralised, Deposit, and Local Benefit Societies, &c. for separate treatment.
