Abstract:
The continual complaints in Great Britain and Ireland of the
inefficiency and extravagance of the Poor Law System, have
been accentuated of late by the labour crisis and want of
employment.
Criticisms abound and commissions of inquiry have been
started. I think the present system might, with great
advantage, be replaced by the schemes which I shall submit.
However, a brief inquiry into the origin and history of
the Poor Law is necessary, before dealing with a remedy.
