An Inquiry Into The Moral, Social, And Intellectual Condition Of The Industrious Classes Of Sheffield, Part 1 The Abuses And Evils Of Charity, Especially Of Medical Charitable Institutions (1839)

""An Inquiry Into The Moral, Social, And Intellectual Condition Of The Industrious Classes Of Sheffield, Part 1: The Abuses And Evils Of Charity, Especially Of Medical Charitable Institutions"" is a book written by George Calvert Holland in 1839. The book is an investigation into the living conditions and welfare of the working classes in Sheffield, a city in northern England, during the Industrial Revolution. Holland focuses on the negative effects of charity, particularly medical charitable institutions, on the working classes. He argues that charity creates a culture of dependency and encourages idleness, rather than promoting self-sufficiency and independence. Holland also highlights the lack of accountability and transparency in charitable organizations, which he believes leads to corruption and mismanagement of funds. The book provides a detailed analysis of the social and economic conditions of the working classes in Sheffield, including their living conditions, employment opportunities, and access to education and healthcare. Holland also examines the role of religion and morality in the lives of the working classes, and argues that the lack of education and opportunities for self-improvement is a major obstacle to their social and intellectual development. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Moral, Social, And Intellectual Condition Of The Industrious Classes Of Sheffield, Part 1: The Abuses And Evils Of Charity, Especially Of Medical Charitable Institutions"" is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the challenges faced by the working classes during the Industrial Revolution, and the role of charity in addressing these challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
