By What Authority?: The Principles in Common and at Issue in the Reports of the Poor Law Commission (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from By What Authority?: The Principles in Common and at Issue in the Reports of the Poor Law Commission
These articles were originally written at the request Of the Editor of the Birmingham Daily Post, the first before, the rest just after, the issue Of the Report of the Commission in February, and it is by his kindness that I am permitted to republish them with some alterations and additions. They do not pretend to be a complete analysis Of the contents Of the Report. An Obvious injustice is done to the treatment by the Commissioners of the whole question of Medical Aid. I felt that this was too large and technical a subject to be dealt with without unduly trespassing on the space allowed me in a daily newspaper.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book critically evaluates the 1905-1909 Royal Commission on the Poor Laws. The Poor Law system, rooted in the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act, is considered alongside the social changes and economic challenges of its time. The author reviews the Commission's proposals, which sought to alleviate poverty and unemployment while also addressing the inadequacy of existing welfare provisions. The book argues that the Commission's recommendations laid the foundation for essential social reforms, such as the establishment of specialized institutions for the care of vulnerable groups and the introduction of preventative and curative measures to address the root causes of poverty. The author contends that the book's insights on the evolution of the Poor Law system and its impact on society remain highly relevant and offer valuable lessons for contemporary policy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334754661_0
