The General Orders And Instructional Letters Of The Poor Law Commissioners (1845) is a historical document that provides insight into the policies and practices of the Poor Law Commissioners during the mid-19th century in England. The book contains a collection of official orders and letters issued by the Commissioners, which were aimed at regulating the administration of the Poor Laws. The Poor Laws were a system of welfare provision that provided relief to the poor in England, but were also criticized for their harsh treatment of the needy.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the Poor Laws. The first section provides an overview of the Poor Law Commissioners and their role in the administration of the laws. The second section contains general orders that were issued to the Boards of Guardians, who were responsible for implementing the laws at the local level. These orders covered topics such as the provision of relief, the treatment of paupers, and the management of workhouses.The third section of the book contains instructional letters that were sent to individual Boards of Guardians. These letters provided guidance on specific issues that arose in the administration of the Poor Laws, such as the treatment of the sick and the elderly, the provision of education for pauper children, and the management of workhouses.Overall, The General Orders And Instructional Letters Of The Poor Law Commissioners (1845) provides a valuable historical resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of welfare provision in England, as well as for anyone interested in the social and economic history of the mid-19th century.With An Extensive Index.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
