This book presents a gathering of historical legislation passed in England between the 16th and early 19th centuries pertaining to a broad range of societal concerns. Starting with laws on the treatment of poor people and wandering beggars through to labor and employment regulations, these laws and the commentary that accompanies them serve as a window into the priorities and apprehensions of English society during this period. The materials collected in this book are essential reading for scholars of legal and economic history, with the author providing astute observations about the enduring legacy of these laws for the modern reader.
