Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Village Poor House is a book written by James White in 1832. It is a historical account of the poorhouses that were established in villages in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book provides a detailed description of the living conditions and treatment of the poor in these institutions. White's account is based on his personal observations as well as interviews with the poorhouse residents and staff. He highlights the harsh and often inhumane treatment of the poor and the lack of proper care and support in these institutions. The book also explores the social and economic factors that led to the establishment of poorhouses and the attitudes towards poverty and the poor in England at the time. The Village Poor House is an important historical document that sheds light on a dark chapter in England's social history and provides valuable insights into the treatment of the poor in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
