Philanthropy in Victorian Scotland - Social Welfare and the Voluntary Principle

This book concerns an investigation of the operation of the voluntarist principle as it responded to those who, under the market system of emerging and maturing capitalism, required assistance. It can be considered the first real attempt to take a comprehensive view of what was provided and the circumstances that evoked it and can be read as a history of the social services in Scotland to 1914 and consequently is a general social hisroty of Scotland.

A very well presented copy with a tidy original unclipped dustcover with some sun-bleached spine. Inside all the pages are unmarked and clean and bright throughout but with some light foxing along the top edges.
