In Trade and Court Privilege in English Society
A long excerpt discusses who counts as "in trade" in England and how courtly privilege favors the non traders. It cites a wealthy English merchant married to a US woman who cannot enter court life, while another American wife inherits different social constraints. The piece moves to a comic River Grand scene where a man confronts an unscrupulous purse thief among female travelers, ending with the man offering sympathy while refusing to help.
