Based on a wide range of primary sources, including kirk session records, parliamentary papers, early newspapers, and first-hand accounts, Dr. Lindsay traces the legal development of the Scottish poor-relief system. She describes its practical operation in both urban and rural areas, giving special attention to the city of Aberdeen and the adjacent counties. She analyses the controversies and debates surrounding the English act of 1834 and Scottish Poor Law Amendment Act of 1845, including the arguments of the Glasgow minister Dr, Thomas Chalmers and the Ediburgh medical professor William Pulteney Alison.

Most historians portray 19th-century county asylums as the exclusive realm of the asylum doctor, but Bartlett (law, U. of Nottingham) argues that they should be thought of as an aspect of English poor law, in which the medical superintendent had remarkably little power. He examines the place of the county asylum movement in the midcentury poor law debates and its legal and administrative regimes. Taking the Leicestershire asylum as a case study, he explores the role of poor law officers in admission processes, and relations between them and the staff and inspectors.

The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 is one of the most important pieces of social legislation ever enacted. Its principles and the workhouse system dominated attitudes to welfare provision for the next 80 years. This new Seminar Study explores the changing ideas to poverty over this period and assesses current debates on Victorian attitudes to the poor. David Englander reviews the old system of poor relief; he considers how the New Poor Law was enacted and received and looks at how it worked in practice. The chapter on the Scottish experience will be particularly welcomed, as will Dr Englander's discussion of the place of the Poor Law within British history.
