Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Relief of the Poor: Six Lectures
A strong conviction of the justice of certain views naturally leads to a belief that a fair hearing will secure their general acceptance, and it is hoped that these pages may do something to overcome the indifference and prejudice of public opinion, which regards the whole question as incapable of amendment. In this sense, and in connection with this subject, a correct theory is the most practical thing in the world for if the possibility of dispauperisation be once established, the details of administration present very little difficulty. The details of a dispauperising administration have been set out in many handbooks, and have been shown to justify themselves by the results. To some minds the force of a general principle has more authority, and to them the following attempt to analyse the economic significance of pauperism and dependence is specially addressed.
