By Gertrude Lubbock

Book Overview

Some Poor Relief Questions: With The Arguments On Both Sides (1895) is a book written by Gertrude Lubbock that explores the issue of poor relief in England during the late 19th century. The book presents a series of questions related to poor relief, such as whether or not it is the responsibility of the state to provide assistance to the poor, and whether or not it is more effective to provide relief in the form of cash or in-kind assistance. Lubbock presents arguments on both sides of each question, drawing on historical examples and contemporary debates to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue. She also discusses the role of charity and voluntary organizations in providing relief to the poor, and the potential drawbacks of relying on these organizations instead of government support. Overall, Some Poor Relief Questions provides a detailed and nuanced examination of the complex issue of poor relief in England during the late 19th century, and serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social welfare policies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
