INTIUJDUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 •4. 
 
 TiiK firyt movement of tlio Printers of Toronto (tlien York) 
 towiirds an organized Aa.sociation, took place at a meetinii ot 
 individuals held on the 12th October, UJ32. This step ori-,dnated 
 in the lact that ivlaster-Printer.s were then continuing to take in 
 work at pnc< h far too low to atl'ord them an adequate remunera- 
 tion, and the contiequences of which had already begun to be 
 IV-li by the Journeymen. At tiiid Meeting it was resolved to 
 ostal)li&h a Society, and a Committee was appointed to frame 
 Rules f(»r the government of the same, which Rules were 
 unanimously adopted by the Society on the 1st November fol- 
 lowing. Copies of this Constitution were sent to the Proprietors 
 of Printing OtHces, and met with general approval. The 
 Society, now fully organized, continued in efficient and pros- 
 perous operation, with such slight modifications as emergmg 
 observation or experience might suggest, till the January 
 meeting of 1834, when a Committee was appointed to revise 
 the " Discipline of the Association," which they did, making 
 ))nt f.'W alterations, and remarking, that although there might 
 lu! room for improvement, "still sufTicient was contained in the 
 Rules (under the present state of things) for the management 
 of your youthful Society." These Revised Rules were then 
 printed, bearing date March 1834. 
 
 Under this amended Constitution the Society continued to 
 prosper, with the usual modifications incident to all such Asso- 
 riations, till th'- autumn of 1830,— a year memorable in the 
 Typographical history of Toronto. Into the origin, progress.
