Published anonymously in 1847, this pamphlet provides a critical analysis of the workhouse system used in Ireland during the Great Famine. The author argues that the system, which was intended to be a last resort for the destitute, was instead being used to punish the poor and force them into labor. This provocative work sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of Irish history and raises important questions about the ethics of public aid.
