Social Work In London, 1869 To 1912: A History Of The Charity Organization Society (1914) is a historical account written by Helen Dendy Bosanquet. The book provides a detailed overview of the Charity Organization Society (COS) and its role in social work in London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bosanquet explores the origins of the COS, its founding principles, and its evolution over time. She also delves into the key figures involved in the society, including its founders, leaders, and volunteers. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the COS's approach to social work, which emphasized the importance of individual responsibility and self-help. Bosanquet examines the society's efforts to provide relief to the poor and needy, including its use of friendly visitors to assess the needs of individuals and families. In addition to its focus on the COS, the book also provides a broader historical context, discussing the social and economic conditions of London during the period covered. Bosanquet examines the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and poverty on the city's inhabitants, and how the COS responded to these challenges. Overall, Social Work In London, 1869 To 1912: A History Of The Charity Organization Society (1914) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social work, the development of social welfare organizations, and the challenges faced by urban communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
