The Diminution Of The Poor Rate

The Diminution Of The Poor Rate: By Improved Legislation And A More Just Distribution Of The Burden is a book written by Standish Grove Grady in 1862. The book discusses the issue of the poor rate, which was a tax levied on property owners in order to support the poor and needy in society. Grady argues that the poor rate was unfairly distributed and that improvements in legislation were needed to ensure a more just distribution of the burden. He suggests that the poor rate should be based on income rather than property ownership, and that the government should provide more support for the poor through education and employment opportunities. The book is a call to action for lawmakers and citizens alike to work towards a more equitable society where the burden of supporting the poor is shared fairly among all members of society.Being A Manual For Members Of Parliament, County Magistrates, Boards Of Guardians, And Rate Payers.
