Notes

One of a number of publications outlining and proselytising for MP Thomas Gilbert's Poor Law reforms, a cause to which he dedicated much effort throughout his parliamentary career. It contains a proposed text of an act of parliament which would form the nucleus of the Relief of the Poor Act 1782, known colloquially as Gilbert's Act.
