Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: VG. 1st ed. f/piece+xiii+387; half-title inscr.: 'For Mr Bettison/ Nov. 5 1909/ with complements from Miss Jane Coode (A Member of the St. Austell Board of Guardians', otherwise internally clean, tight and unmarked with good gutters, some brown flecking to fore-edge of textblock, gilt-lettered dark blue covers clean & bright with only minimal rubbing to extremities. A curious mixture of subject matter combining public health, workhouses, Boards of Guardians and eels in the Metropolitan water mains with continental travels around vineyards, mountaineering and the 'Ammergau Passion Play'. 'Fenian outrages' are also indexed. The author's career seems to have spanned the latter quarter of the 19th century down to about 1908. Dates are a bit scanty but he appears to have been born around 1841 since he says he was thinking of retiring at 65 years in 1906 but took a 2 year extension. A nice copy of this curious and informative work.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a glimpse into the professional and social world of a government inspector as seen through the eyes of the author - a former public servant who spent half a century in the British Civil Service. The author shares a delightful collection of personal anecdotes and astute observations that provide insights into the inner workings of government and the lives of those who served it during a period of signicant social and political change. It was in the twilight years of the Poor Law of 1834 when the author joined the Civil Service, just as those principles established generations earlier began to show their age and the need for reform. In the years that followed, the face of the nation changed rapidly, spurred on by the Industrial Revolution and a new era of technological innovation. The author captures a vivid sense of this transformative era, as seen from his perspective in some of the most important and active government departments. His reections traverse the corridors of power through the reigns of several British monarchs, providing a unique perspective on a period that saw the expansion of the welfare state, the creation of new public services, and the gradual establishment of modern Britain. Along the way, the reader is treated to behind-the-scenes tales of momentous events such as the Cattle Plague and the American Civil War, with a colourful cast of characters ranging from Queen Victoria to the Prince Consort, Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale and Herbert Spencer. This fascinating account serves as a valuable historical record of the daily life of a government inspector and the machinery of the state, while also exploring the evolution of Britain's social and political landscape over half a century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
