EVILS OF THE STATE OF IRELAND

Excerpt from Evils of the State of Ireland: Their Causes, and Their Remedy a Poor Law

Few, perhaps, will be able to conceive, that the mode in which the destitute in society shall be subsisted can afford matter for very grave consideration. The mass of mankind consider it purely a question of benevolence to the poor, or of convenience to the wealthy. They are not aware that it is intimately connected with wages, with capital, with rent, with crime, with population, and even with education; and that it vitally affects the interests of every member of society, although apparently only concerning a verly insignificant portion of a single class.
