Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compilation of speeches given at the 1875 conference of the UK-based National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, provides a panorama of Victorian British thought on various societal ills. British intellectuals, social reformers, and government officials offer perspectives on issues ranging from education reform to the treatment of criminals. Despite a recurring theme of concern at crime rates and poverty, the book is also marked by optimism in the potential of government and society to address these issues.
