''Remarks on the Statute Law Affecting Parish Apprentices'' is a book written by John Meadows White in 1829. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the legal framework governing the treatment of parish apprentices in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. It explores the various statutes enacted to regulate the apprenticeship system, including the Poor Law of 1601, the Apprenticeship Act of 1563, and the Parish Apprentices Act of 1816. White examines the practical application of these laws and highlights the abuses that often occurred within the system. He argues that apprentices were often mistreated and exploited by their masters, who used their power to extract cheap labor from vulnerable children. The book also discusses the efforts made by reformers to improve the conditions of apprentices and to ensure that the law was enforced more effectively.Overall, ''Remarks on the Statute Law Affecting Parish Apprentices'' provides a valuable insight into the social and legal history of England, and sheds light on the struggles faced by the poor and disadvantaged during this period. It remains an important resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of social justice and reform.With Regulations Applicable To Local Districts And Parishes, For Allotting And Placing Out Poor Children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
