The Economy Of The Fleet - Augustus Jessopp - Bog

""The Economy of the Fleet"" is a book written by Alexander Harris in response to nine articles that were set forth against him by prisoners. The book was published in 1879 and is an apologetical answer to these articles. Augustus Jessopp provides a complete description of the book, which is an important historical document that sheds light on the conditions of the Fleet prison during the 18th century. The book provides a detailed account of the economic system that was in place in the prison, which was based on the sale of goods and services by the prisoners themselves. Harris argues that this system was necessary for the survival of the prisoners and that it was not as exploitative as it was made out to be. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of prisons and the economic conditions that prevailed in them during the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
