| Summary | "A History of the Irish Poor Law, in connexion with the condition of the people" by Sir George Nicholls is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides a detailed exploration of the origins, development, and impact of the Irish Poor Law, while also examining the broader social conditions affecting the Irish populace. The book seeks to clarify how Irish legislation related to poor relief was adapted from English law and its relevance to the social well-being of the people during a critical period in Irish history. At the start of the text, the author outlines his dedication to the members of the Boards of Guardians in Ireland, aiming to provide a practical resource for their administrative roles. The preface notes the distinction between Irish and English poor laws, emphasizing the unique challenges Ireland faced, including persistent destitution and the demographic shifts resulting from increased population pressure. Nicholls also sets the stage for a comprehensive historical narrative, promising to explore the evolving landscape of poverty relief, the socio-political environment, and how these elements shaped the legislative framework of the Irish Poor Law.
