Book excerpt: This is a history of the Old Poor Law in Scotland, which existed from 1574 to 1845. It is also a history of the poor and of the experience of poverty. In describing how Scottish society's less fortunate members were dealt with the author is able to reveal much about the values of that society and the links and barriers between the classes. This richly woven narrative of events, ideas, and individuals has been constructed largely from the author's meticulous research over a period of 25 years. It is likely to be seen as a classic of enduring importance in the understanding of Scottish social, religious, economic, and political history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practice of the Scottish Poor Law As a result of many conversations with Inspectors of Poor, Parish Councillors, and Parish officials generally, I have come to think that there is a real need for a little manual of Poor Law practice. Since the publication of Mr. Guthrie Smith's classic book some forty years ago, nothing of this kind has been attempted. It is true that Mr. Graham, in a most valuable work on Poor Law, has collected all the Acts and decisions, and linked them together with lucid notes. But Mr. Graham necessarily dwells on the strictly legal side of his subject. To one engaged in active Poor Law work, the practice appeals more strongly than the law, and accordingly the present book is more a manual of practice than any of its predecessors. In dealing with the law of Settlement and Recourse, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to express the law in the form of general propositions, and have avoided argument upon debatable points. I have not set for myself any high aim, as I know that many Inspectors of Poor, from long experience, and from native shrewdness, have acquired such a mastery of the law of Settlement that one must not expose the weak places in his armour to the shafts of their criticism. But I am hopeful that Assistant Inspectors, Inspectors of the smaller parishes who may not have all the authorities at command, and especially new Inspectors, may find my notes useful.
