Item description from seller

Book Condition — As New: A read book that remains in almost perfect condition. Some faint scratching to rear cover of the dust jacket and discolouration to its spine, but otherwise clean, free from major blemishes or tears. Now protected by plastic slipcover. Hardcover binding is mint. Dust marks/light foxing across text block, but mostly clean with good page edges. Foxing/staining across front endpapers, but otherwise pages are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout. A hardback copy of a focused regional social-history study — valued by collectors and researchers for its detailed examination of early welfare provision and its relevance to the history of poverty, urban development, and public policy.

The work offers insight into the practical realities of relief administration as well as the broader social structures of the time, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in social history, urban studies, and the development of welfare policy. Its regional focus gives it particular importance within the study of 18th- and early 19th-century British history. …
