Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The State of the Poor' is a foundational work of social history and economic analysis that provides an exhaustive examination of the living conditions of the laboring classes in England. Written by Frederic Morton Eden, this influential study serves as a critical primary source for understanding the socioeconomic landscape of the late 18th century and the historical development of the English Poor Laws.The work meticulously documents the diets, wages, and household expenses of various families, offering an unparalleled look into the daily struggles and resilience of the working poor. Eden's approach combines empirical data with insightful observations on the administrative systems of charity and state support. By detailing parochial reports and the impact of shifting economic tides on local communities, 'The State of the Poor' highlights the complexities of poverty and the historical effectiveness of contemporary social welfare measures.This classic text is essential for historians, economists, and sociologists interested in the development of social policy and the historical roots of modern economic structures. It remains a vital contribution to the literature on social justice and the history of the working class, reflecting a commitment to gathering factual evidence to inform public debate on the welfare of a nation's most vulnerable citizens.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. 3 Volumes. Quarto. Lacking errata leaf, else complete. Bound in contemporary mottled calf, blue speckled edges, re-backed preserving most of original spines. Published by J. Davis, for B. & J. White, G. & G. Robinson, T. Payne [& 4 others in London], 1797. Provenance: This copy of Eden's pioneering work of social investigation was owned by J. Paul Getty (1892-1976). Each volume contains the library stamps of Sutton Place from the time when it was owned by J. Paul Getty, at the time the world's wealthiest private individual. The library stamps read: "Getty Oil (Britain) Ltd., | Sutton Place, | Guildford, | Surrey." Following Getty's death, the Getty Oil Corporation sold Sutton Place to Stanley J. Seeger (1930-2011), who assembled a wonderful art and book collection during his lifetime. It seems likely that Seeger enjoyed the irony of a study of poverty from the library of the world's richest man. Each volume also contains the armorial bookplate of Edward Southwell Trafford (1838-1912), a landowner and judge. Some wear to the binding, very occasional light spotting and browning; a near fine example. Vol I: A previous owner's ink correction to two words on p. 130 and p.283, a tiny hole to p. 265 affecting two letters without any loss of meaning. Vol II: A small tear to p. 157. Vol III: A small number of tiny corner creases. A tiny hole to p. cccliii affecting two letters without any loss of meaning. "The State of the Poor is one of the classical works in the history of economics. Eden was led to embark on the subject by the high prices brought on by the war in 1794 and 1795, and the effect they had on the living conditions of the poorer classes. Eden's own work, notwithstanding its originality, might now be forgotten if it were not for the invaluable collection of facts attached to it, which can never cease to be of importance. it has proved the basis of sociological investigation ever since." - PMM. "[The State of the Poor] was written from a perspective that reveals Eden's general adherence to Adam Smith's system of natural liberty in economic affairs; this led Karl Marx to claim that Eden was the only eighteenth-century disciple of Smith to produce a work of any significance."

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. First edition. 8vo. New cloth binding, gilt titles. 43 pp. Scarce pamphlet, only two in COPAC, none in LOC. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, "Sir Frederic Eden Bart." on title page. Essay that discusses the scarcity of oak suitable for ships, followed by a discussion of the reformation of the Poor Laws which deserve consideration: specifically, the appropriation of land to be rented by labourers, the organization of friendly societies, and the promotion of education. Use of statistics throughout. "His sole claim to fame, however, is the investigation which he made into the state of the labouring classes in England. He was led to the subject by the high prices of 1794 and 1795. Being a man of means, and earnestly interested in the subject, he performed the work with great thoroughness. He visited and studied several parishes personally; he had many correspondents, clergymen and others; and, for the rest, he secured the services of 'a remarkably faithful and intelligent person, who has spent more than a year in travelling from place to place for the express purpose of obtaining exact information agreeably to a set of queries with which I furnished him' (pref. to The State of the Poor). The three volumes which he published in 1797 (the year before Malthus published the first edition of the 'Essay on Population'), when he was only thirty-one years of age, form one of the classical works in economical literature, and are so rich in valuable facts, not to be found elsewhere, that they can never pass out of date. Karl Marx has said that Eden is 'the only disciple of Adam Smith during the eighteenth century that produced any work of importance'" (DNB) Appears to be author's copy with correction and at one time in the Library of Congress. Pages tanned and chipped along edges, light stain to half title. Good in new binding. Signed by Author(s).…

Praised as "one of the classical works in the history of economics" and "the beginning of sociology" (Carter and Muir, Printing and the Mind of Man). Eden's seminal work, founding a methodology of obtaining and systematically analyzing facts to the extant that it has served as the basis of sociological investigations ever since; such that even Karl Marx commented in his Das Kapital that "Eden was the only pupil of Adam Smith who achieved anything of any significance during the eighteenth-century" (PMM).…
