The Athletic Craze 1893 At the present time sports are considered an instrument that allows humans to acquire discipline, relieve stress, learn human values and gain physical heath. However, in 1893, The Nation magazine published an article stating that the practice of sports, especially football, demoralized college campuses.

After being charged with a penalty, the bulk of criminals were sentenced to a prison until either released or punished. There were exactly eighteen prisons: the Tower, the Gatehouse, Fleet, Newgate, Ludgate, Poultry Counter, Wood Street Counter, Bridewell, White Lion, the King’s Bench, Marshalsea, Southwark Counter, Clink, St. Katherine’s, East Smithfield, New Prison, Lord Wentworth’s, and Finsbury. Each of the prisons in London had different levels of accommodation for its prisoners. The section of the prison that the prisoner ended up in depended not on the offense with which he was charged, but on how much money the prisoner was willing or able to give to various people in the prison administration. However, prisoners had to pay more money if they wanted their own cell, meat and wine at every meal. Prisoners lived comfortably in this manner as long as they were able to pay for it. When they could no longer afford to live at this level of the prison, they had to move to one of the lesser but relatively comfortable areas, and finally to the worst area of the prison, once they could no longer afford to live in moderate comfort. Although each of the prisons had a lowest level, where the poor prisoners were cramped together into a small space and often died of starvation and cold, or from the lack of exercise and poor sanitation, most did not reach this level. There was no set limit for how long a person stayed in prison. Thus the length of a prison sentence varied from prisoner to prisoner. Debtors were not able to leave prison until they settled with their creditors. Some of those who were to be executed were able to avoid their punishment by becoming hangmen and some even buy their way out of execution with two thousand pounds.…

People threw their trash out the window and if their dog or cat died, they would throw that out the window also. When it rained, cats and dogs would flow down the street.

London was Europe's most dynamic city at the end of the 16th century. It had grown from approximately 120,000 people in 1550 to 200,000 in 1600. (In comparison, Paris had only 70,000 people in 1600.) And London's growth had paralleled that of England, which had doubled in population between the 1520s and the 1640s. The English economy grew even more rapidly: agriculture prospered because of the significant increase in demand for food, and London became the leading center of the international woolen cloth trade after Antwerp was sacked in 1576. The overall European money supply had grown rapidly as a result of the gold and silver being brought in by Spain from Latin America; the resulting inflation had proved good for capitalists because it lowered the cost of labor and debt. The great merchants had prospered mightily during this "Age of Exploration"--a prosperous London merchant could earn 2-3000 pounds a year, making him the financial equal of an aristocrat. The total volume of trade increased rapidly in the early 17th century, notably between England and the countries around the Baltic, the Mediterranean, India and the Americas…
