3.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the specialist historian,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Economic History of the English Poor Law, 1750-1850 (Hardcover)
Professor Boyer has written a fine historical account. This book is well worth the attention of those studying eighteenth or nineteenth century British economic and social history at the first degree level.However, I am sure that the specialist can pick holes in the broad canvas. I would also like to correct the previous reviewer. Both Humphreys and Englander have written on the 1834 Poor Law Reforms. I think it is the reviewer who should "not assume anything." I would also suggest that he/she read his/her uncle's book.

Not Worth Reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Economic History of the English Poor Law, 1750-1850 (Hardcover)
This book is certainly not the best historical account of the English Poor Laws by any means. Instead, I highly recommend those written by Robert Humphreys of the London School of Economics and David Englander. Cornell University Professor George Boyer should peruse the hypotheses offered by these scholars.
