Publisher's Synopsis
""A Proposed Plan For The Equalization Of The Poor Rates"" is a book written by Gilbert Linney Hutchinson in 1846. The book discusses the issue of poor rates in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and proposes a plan for equalizing them across different parishes. Poor rates were a tax levied on property owners to fund relief for the poor, and the book argues that the current system of rates was unfair and inefficient. Hutchinson suggests a system of centralization, where poor relief would be administered by a central authority rather than individual parishes. The book also provides a historical overview of poor relief in the UK and analyzes the impact of poor rates on different social classes. ""A Proposed Plan For The Equalization Of The Poor Rates"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the social and economic conditions of the UK in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
