The Social State of Great Britain and Ireland Considered, With Regard to the Labouring Population, &C. &C: Dedicated by Permission to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from The Social State of Great Britain and Ireland Considered, With Regard to the Labouring Population, &C. &C: Dedicated by Permission to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent
Let us examine this statement: here is the amount of the deficiency in ten years. But in these years I find free colonists supported, amounting to no fewer (if we suppose them to have been congregated in one year) than the number of 4923 persons, whilst mendicants in same manner would amount to 4775, making together 9698 being 3l. 103. To each indi vidual.
What parish in London supports its poor for three or four-fold this sum? Here then, so far from admitting a failure, I say, let us go and do likewise.
