Defense of the English Poor Laws Argument
The article reviews an 1818 Sheffield pamphlet defending the Poor Laws as essential to national prosperity. It asserts laws deter idleness, bind workers to native land, attract skilled poor from abroad, and provide for temporary distress, while countering critics and noting Scotland’s different outcomes. It argues that reforms have failed and burdens shift to non-British suppliers, with Malthusian concerns reframed as supportive.
