Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter To Sir Samuel Romilly, From Henry Brougham, Upon The Abuse Of Charities"" is a historical document written by Henry Brougham in 1818. The letter was addressed to Sir Samuel Romilly, a prominent lawyer and politician in England at the time. In this letter, Brougham discusses the issue of charity abuse, which was rampant in England during the early 19th century. He argues that many charities were being mismanaged and that the funds intended for the poor were often being diverted to other purposes. Brougham provides several examples of such abuses and calls for stricter regulation of charities to ensure that they are used for their intended purpose. The letter is an important historical document that sheds light on the social and economic conditions of England during the early 19th century and the efforts of reformers like Brougham to address the issue of charity abuse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
