AB - Abstract John Howard's tireless travels of prison inspection from 1773 onwards resulted in the publication in several editions of two massive books which continue to be our chief sources of knowledge about eighteenth-century incarceration. Neither book credits the work of three men (and possibly more) who gave Howard extensive editorial assistance. An effort to explain this curious omission produced the conclusions that Howard's inadequate literacy disqualified him from more than a nominal role in writing his books, and that certain political concerns arising from his helpers' status as activist Dissenters from the Church of England cautioned them against letting their work for him become known.
