They were allowed to stand, chained by the ankle, out- side the jail, to sell articles of their own manufacture. Thus, John Bun, yan sold cotton lace in front of Bedford prison. The grated windows were crowded by miserable wretches begging for alms. Many innocent persons were confined for years because they could not pay their jail fees. In 1773, Howard began his philanthropic labors in behalf of pris- on reform, but years elapsed before the evils he revealed were corrected.
On the Continent, t...orture was still practiced ; the prisons of Hanover, for example, had machines for tearing off the hair of the convict.
A General Coarseness and Brutality existed in society. Mas- ters beat their servants, and husbands their wives. Profanity was common with ladies as well as gentlemen. Lawyers swore at the bar ; judges, on the bench ; women, in their letters ; and the king, on his throne. No entertainment was complete unless the guests became stupidly drunk. Children of five years of age were habitually put to labor, and often driven to their work by blows.
