Publisher's Synopsis
The Economy of the Fleet is a book written by Alexander Harris in 1879. The book is an apologetical answer to the accusations made against the Fleet Prison, which was a notorious debtors' prison in London. Harris defends the prison, arguing that it is necessary for the proper functioning of the economy. He also provides a detailed account of the prison's history, its management, and the conditions in which the prisoners lived. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the harsh realities of debtors' prisons in 19th century London. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of criminal justice and the economy of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
