Excerpt from Poverty: A Study of Town Life
My present edition is substantially the same as the first. A few additional questions have, however, been dealt with. In response to suggestions made to the writer, information is given (pp. 375-383) regarding the probable effect of Old Age Pensions upon poverty in York.
On pp. 384-387 an Abstract Statement of the York City Accounts is given, showing under a few main heads the sources of income and items of expenditure, and the percentage which each of the latter bears to the total expenditure of the City.
In Appendix D, tables have been added showing the marriage ages in various countries; and some information relative to workhouse dietaries is given in Appendix J.
