Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the sole edition. Nicholls [1781-1865] was a pioneering poor-law reformer and administrator. While Great Britain's Poor Law Commissioner he drafted the Irish Poor-Law Act (1832). One of the first to assert that relief bred a culture of dependency and a resistance to work, he advocated the abolition of relief except as a last resort. Includes sections on urban poor, workhouses, housing conditions, child labor, vagabonds etc. In addition to the present study, he wrote A History of the English Poor Law (1854) and A History of the Scotch Poor Law (1856). Like his other studies, this one relates the evolution of poor laws since the medieval era to economic, social and political history. Notably sophisticated works, they were held in high regard by Sir Leslie Stephen and F.W. Maitland.

Excerpt: ...in which the capitalist's wealth may be invested--perhaps to proceed to personal outrage, and attack, on some fancied injury, even his life. The Irish farmer in many districts dare not adopt turnip husbandry; the starving peasantry would clear off his crop for their own consumption. He will not venture to plant; his trees would disappear as soon as they are fit for fuel. He must not fence his enclosures: the fences would be levelled by the first vagrant he sent unrelieved off his premises. If he lays out his stock in cattle, they are perhaps houghed from a similar motive. If he lays down a field to pasture, it is turned up by a hundred spades during the night; and he is commanded by Capt. Rock, under pain of death, to let it out in potato-patches! How is capital to grow in such an atmosphere? Who would invest capital in such a country that had the choice of another? And how is a better state of things to be expected, so long as thousands are in want of food, and denied the means of obtaining a livelihood by honest industry? In one word, it is the absence of employment for the population of Ireland which keeps them miserable and disorganized. And it is the misery and disorganization thus produced which prevents the investment of capital in the employment of the population. Here then is a train of unhappy circumstances acting on each other alternately, as cause and effect, which, if uninterrupted by any external force, or internal convulsion, must continue to reproduce themselves in a vicious circle to all eternity. It is when a country is placed in a dilemma of this unhappy nature, that it behoves the Government to step in and wisely compel those measures which are required to advance the common good, but which will never, under such...

Book excerpt: This book examines Irish poor law reform during the years of the Irish revolution and Irish Free State. This work is a significant addition to the growing historiography of twentieth-century Ireland which moves beyond political history. It demonstrates that concepts of respectability, deservingness, social class, and gender where central dynamics in Irish society. This book provides the first major study of local welfare practices, policies, and attitudes towards poverty and the poor in this era. This book's exploration of the poor law during revolutionary Ireland provides fresh and original insights into this critical juncture in Irish history. It charts the transformation of the former workhouse system into a network of local authority welfare and healthcare institutions including county homes, county and hospital hospitals, and mother and baby homes. It makes an important contribution to not just historiographical understandings, but also contemporary debates on institutions in Ireland's past. New insights into medical history and hospital care are also provided. It's based on under-utilised local and central government records and reveals not just the attitudes of the poor relief officials, but also sheds much light on the poor and how people engaged with the system. The book is also comparative in context and places the Irish experience of poor relief reform against the backdrop of wider transnational trends. This work has multiple audiences and will appeal to those interested in Irish social, culture, economic and political history. The book will also appeal to historians of welfare, the poor law, and the social history of medicine.
