Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Local Government, Vol. 1: English Poor Law History This volume deals with "The Old Poor Law", so drastically reformed in 1834; and it will be followed by another giving in detail the story of "The Last Hundred Years" of Poor Law Administration, down to 1927. When, in 1899, we began our historical investigations into English Local Government we found it necessary to limit our own researches in the original sources mainly to the eighteenth century, or, more generally, to the period between 1689 and 1834. It is substantially this period with which we have dealt in the four volumes describing the evolution of the constitutional structure (The Parish and the County, 1906; The Manor and the Borough, 2 vols., 1908; and Statutory Authorities for Special Purposes, 1922, the last-named ending with a lengthy summary of the old "principles" and the new, upon which our government has been built). In connection with this analysis of structure, we prepared for our own use also an analysis of the development of the principal functions of the organisations with which we were dealing. This work led to the publication of a short study on the regulation of the supply of alcoholic beverages (The History of Liquor Licensing in England, 1903); and to two further volumes (The Story of the King´s Highway, 1913; and English Prisons under Local Government, 1922), in each of which we included a more or less detailed survey of the history before and after the century and a half about which we had consulted the manuscript records.
