"Statement of the Provision for the Poor, and of the Condition of the Labouring Classes" by Nassau W. Senior is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work serves as an introduction to a larger compilation of foreign communications regarding the systems of welfare and relief for the poor across various regions in America and Europe. The book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the laws and practicesaddressing poverty during that era, highlighting both successes and challenges within these systems. The opening of the text outlines the purpose behind the document, which is to inform the public and policymakers about the state of provisions for the poor across several geographic areas. It describes how commissioners under the British government sought to gather extensive information on poor laws, extending their inquiry beyond England and Wales to include insights from various nations, aided by diplomats and other authorities abroad. As they begin detailing the diverse methods of support for the impoverished, the text hints at a comparative analysis of the systems employed, illustrating the variances in approaches and outcomes regarding the welfare of working-class populations in different societal contexts.
