Eden studied at Christ Church, Oxford, and subsequently worked in banking and insurance, inheriting a baronetcy from his father, who had been the governor of the American province of Maryland, in 1784. Arguing that poverty could not be tackled without knowing what it actually meant to be poor, this innovative three-volume work is an attempt to define what poverty meant in concrete terms. It is packed with data from across England, divided by county, and covering factors such as food prices, wages, diet and mortality rates. It begins with an explanation of the methods of data collection used, and outlines the various measures taken against poverty in different periods. Volume 2 presents the first set of reports on living conditions of the poor in the various English counties, sorted alphabetically, from Bedfordshire to Suffolk.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eParochial Reports - England: Bedfordshire\u003cbr\u003e Berks.\u003cbr\u003e Bucks.\u003cbr\u003e Cheshire\u003cbr\u003e Cornwall\u003cbr\u003e Cumberland\u003cbr\u003e Derbyshire\u003cbr\u003e Devon\u003cbr\u003e Dorsetshire\u003cbr\u003e Durham\u003cbr\u003e Essex\u003cbr\u003e Gloucestershire\u003cbr\u003e Hampshire\u003cbr\u003e Herefordshire\u003cbr\u003e Hertfordshire\u003cbr\u003e Kent\u003cbr\u003e Lancashire\u003cbr\u003e Leicestershire\u003cbr\u003e Lincolnshire\u003cbr\u003e Middlesex\u003cbr\u003e Monmouthshire\u003cbr\u003e Norfolk\u003cbr\u003e Northamptonshire\u003cbr\u003e Northumberland\u003cbr\u003e Nottinghamshire\u003cbr\u003e Oxfordshire\u003cbr\u003e Rutland\u003cbr\u003e Shropshire\u003cbr\u003e Somersetshire\u003cbr\u003e Staffordshire\u003cbr\u003e Suffolk.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Social \u0026amp; cultural history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social \u0026amp; cultural history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20\u0026amp;%20cultural%20history%20%5BHBTB%5D%22\"\u003eHBTB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266051035416,"sku":"9781108036887","price":57.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108036887i.jpg?v=1694873903","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-state-of-the-poor-or-an-history-of-the-labouring-classes-in-england-from-the-conquest-to-the-present-period-paperback-9781108036887","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
