Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of Henry Cockburn, 1874: Being a Continuation of the Memorials of His Time 6th February 1843. A Royal Commission has just been issued for inquiring into the condition of the poor and the state of the law in Scotland respecting them. The Commissioners have perhaps not been selected so wisely as they might; but Lord Melville´s being at the head of them is a sufficient guarantee for the whole. A more industrious, business-like, sensible, and candid chairman could not have been got or indeed fancied. This is a measure which will probably shiver all our long-cherished visions about the perfection of the Scottish system pauperism. At present I adhere firmly to the principles of that system, if they be rightly applied. But whether, under the stinginess of heritors wishing only to give nothing, and the negligence of kirk-sessions anxious to avoid trouble, they have been so applied is a different question.
