" JOHN HOWARD 53 of needing some paper in which to wrap his purchases, he secured a good-sized copy of the pamphlet, and quickly left the shop, never to be seen again in that attire. Afterwards, in describing his efforts, Howard wrote that after much trouble he had been for- tunate enough to secure a copy of the pamphlet, which he "brought to England, though not without hazard. " By translating it into English he gave to the world a full knowledge of the horrors of the Bastille where some of th...e most noble men of France have been imprisoned and executed. It is in this translation that we read the story of the "Man in the Iron Mask. " As a further example of the thorough methods which Howard used to find out everything about the prisons which he visited, we may take the following incident. On one occasion he went to visit a "hulk" prison, that is, the body or hulk of an old vessel used as a prison. The captain brought him a biscuit as a sample of the food given to the prisoners. It was quite a wholesome biscuit.
