In this work the author strongly condemns the present management of the poor as a disgrace to the policy and political economy of the poor. He alleged that the heavy burden of the poor rate had so ruined small tradesmen as to have added to, rather than reduced the existing number of paupers. He advocated the abandonment of the whole system; the separation and classification of paupers, the education of pauper children, and their separation from criminal parents. He suggested the application of the unemployed to agricultural work.

His estate at Sheffield Place, in Sussex, was regarded as a model of farming. Kress, C170; Goldsmith, 22206; Einaudi, 2916; Black, 3097.
