MIDWINTER, E.C SOCIAL ADMINISTRATION IN LANCASHIRE, 1830-1860. Poor Law, Public Health, Police
Manchester University Press 1969 First Edition Hardcover NR FINE VG
vi+193pp. Tables and Maps in text. Dust-jacket slightly dusty. By 1851 Lancashire was, after London, the most crowded area where compact masses of people geared to an industrial economy brought an intensification of poverty, disease and crime. The book investigates the first faltering response of society to these questions as, for the first time, serious efforts were made at national level to alleviate the problems. The author makes a detailed examination of the sets of authorities to see how far their actions met with success. Includes Select Bibliography and Index.
