Note 91 — Chapter V · COMMERCIAL POLICE AND POLICE UNDER THE TUDORS
Reading edition
The story of young Edward amongst the vagabonds has recently been told with great charm and pathos by one of the most popular writers of the day. Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper" may not be history, but that it presents a truthful picture of the sufferings of vagrants in the sixteenth century cannot be doubted.
