Master and Matron of the Workhouse is a historical non-fiction book written by William Golden Lumley and originally published in 1869. The book provides an in-depth look at the role of the Master and Matron in the workhouse system of Victorian England. The workhouse was a government-run institution where the poor and destitute could receive food, shelter, and work in exchange for their labor. Lumley's book explores the daily life of these officials, including their duties, responsibilities, and challenges. He also examines the conditions of the workhouses themselves, the treatment of the inmates, and the impact of the workhouse system on society. Through his writing, Lumley sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of Victorian England and provides a valuable historical perspective on poverty, welfare, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
