"This major contribution to social welfare history is unique both in scope and in method. From colonial beginnings, it traces the development of poor law and state welfare institutions in a matrix of local and voluntary efforts, and it shows how nineteenth-century ideas about "charity and corrections" were transformed into twentieth-century public welfare"--Jacket.
