Description

Based on research from primary sources, this book describes the development of the Scottish Poor Law as an instrument for the preservation of the old and destitute, and partially as a protection against famine. It shows the effect of the Poor Law of the later-18th century agrarian reorganization, the industrial revolution, Scottish urban development and the evangelical revival.

Author Biography:

Formerly professor of social history at the University of Edinburgh, Mitchison has been one of Scotland's leading social historians for almost four decades.
