George C. T. Bartley KCB (1842-1910) spent twenty years as a civil
servant, becoming Assistant Director in the Art and Science
Department, before standing for election as a Conservative MP. He
was elected in 1885 as the Member for Islington. He was a Justice
of the Peace for Middlesex and Westminster, and also founded the
National Penny Bank. Bartley had a keen interest in social issues,
particularly poverty and education, and he wrote several books on
these subjects, as well as numerous penny pamphlets aimed at
improving the lives of the working class. Published in 1876, this
book was based on Bartley's experiences as a Guardian of the Poor -
an administrator for the Poor Law of 1834. It was written as a
practical guide for anyone wishing to become involved in
administering poor relief under the terms of the Poor Law.
