The pauper apprentices (like Oliver Twist) had absolutely no rights whatsoever and were virtually slaves to their masters. I find it all terribly moving. And, of course, Dickens based much of "David Copperfield" on his own experiences in the blacking factory :-(.<BR/>Thank you for such a fascinating site :-)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://hilliardandcroft.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"> Hilliard & Croft </A> <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/MOST-BEAUTIFUL-PRINCESS-CHRISTINA-CROFT/dp/0955985307/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1227191478&sr=8-3" REL="nofollow"> Most Beautiful Princess </A>Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714569232976515363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-25069961421314115422008-11-24T16:15:00.000+00:002008-11-24T16:15:00.000+00:00Good post.
