Pauperism And Poor Laws

""Pauperism and Poor Laws"" by Robert Pashley is a comprehensive study of the social and economic conditions of the poor in England during the 19th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Poor Laws, which were the primary means of providing assistance to the poor at the time, and their impact on society. Pashley examines the causes of poverty, including unemployment, illness, and family breakdown, and argues that the Poor Laws were inadequate in addressing these issues. He also discusses the various forms of relief available to the poor, such as workhouses, outdoor relief, and charitable organizations, and assesses their effectiveness. The book concludes with a discussion of possible reforms to the Poor Laws, including the establishment of a national system of education and the provision of more comprehensive medical care. Overall, ""Pauperism and Poor Laws"" provides a valuable historical perspective on the challenges of poverty and social welfare in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
