Book Overview
Plan for the Better Relief and Employment of the Poor presents a detailed proposal for reforming the management of poverty and public order in 18th-century England. Authored by Thomas Gilbert, this work outlines a comprehensive strategy encompassing the relief and employment of the poor, the enforcement and amendment of laws concerning houses of correction and vagrants, and improvements to the police system. The plan includes draft bills intended for presentation to Parliament, offering specific legislative solutions to address these pressing social issues.
Gilbert's plan provides valuable insight into the social and political landscape of the time, reflecting contemporary concerns about poverty, crime, and the effectiveness of existing laws. It remains relevant for those interested in the history of social welfare, law enforcement, and parliamentary reform.
