The Poor And Their Relief is a book written by George Ensor and first published in 1825. The book is a comprehensive study of the poor and their relief in England during the early 19th century. Ensor explores the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to poverty and the various forms of relief that were available to the poor at the time, including the workhouse system, outdoor relief, and private charity. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the state of poverty in England at the time, including the causes and consequences of poverty, the living conditions of the poor, and the various efforts to alleviate poverty. The second part focuses on the workhouse system, which was the primary form of relief for the poor. Ensor examines the history and development of workhouses, their management and organization, and the experiences of those who lived and worked in them. The third part of the book explores alternative forms of relief, including outdoor relief and private charity. Ensor examines the advantages and disadvantages of these forms of relief and provides examples of how they were implemented in different parts of England. Throughout the book, Ensor provides detailed statistics, case studies, and historical examples to support his arguments. He also offers his own opinions and recommendations for improving the relief system and reducing poverty in England. Overall, The Poor And Their Relief is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the social and economic conditions of England in the early 19th century and the efforts to alleviate poverty during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
