Theopening of the book introduces the context of the observance of Sunday by recounting an incident involving General Washington, who faced scrutiny for riding on a Sunday, and follows with various historical perspectives on Sabbath observance. It includes reflections from old newspapers, covering the strict regulations against Sunday activities and the many debates about the importance of maintaining this day for worship versus engaging in leisure.
