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.
