Pages 209-225 | Published online: 06 Jul 2006
 

Abstract

The very garments that in some places are given them (children), and their maintenance in all of them by charity, are the constant badges and proofs of their dependence and poverty; and should therefore teach them humility and their parents thankfulness.

(Samuel Harmar, 1642, cited in Pinchebeck & Hewitt, 1969)
