Publisher's Synopsis
Hints On The Mal-Administration Of The Poor Laws: With A Plan For Bringing The Collection And Appropriation Of The Poor Rates (1834) by Charles Skipper And East is a book that offers a critical analysis of the poor laws in England during the 19th century. The book provides insights into the maladministration of the poor laws and offers a plan for improving their collection and appropriation. The authors argue that the existing poor laws are ineffective, inefficient, and unjust, and that they need to be reformed in order to better serve the needs of the poor. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the poor laws. The first chapter provides an overview of the poor laws, their history, and their current state. The second chapter discusses the problems with the existing poor laws, including the lack of accountability, the inefficient collection and distribution of funds, and the negative impact on the poor. The third chapter proposes a plan for reforming the poor laws, including the establishment of a central authority to oversee their collection and distribution, the introduction of a uniform system of relief, and the creation of a system of checks and balances to prevent abuse. Overall, Hints On The Mal-Administration Of The Poor Laws: With A Plan For Bringing The Collection And Appropriation Of The Poor Rates (1834) is a thought-provoking book that offers a valuable historical perspective on the poor laws in England.
