Robert Pashley (1805 59), lawyer, economist, traveller, and fellow
of Trinity College, Cambridge, is famous for his travel memoirs as
well as his legal achievements. First published in 1852, his
history of pauperism and the poor laws in England analyses the
history of poverty and the various attempts at reform, including
legislation in the reign of Elizabeth I, the statute of Charles II
for the Removal of the Poor, and the pauper legislation of 1834. In
the final chapters, Pashley asserts the necessity for a total
repeal of the existing legislation, including the Poor Law
Amendment Act of 1834, arguing that the provisions for raising and
administering relief to paupers should be consolidated into one
statute and suggesting a national levy on property to aid poor
relief. Pashley's work was influential, although reform of the
system did not begin until the creation of the Local Government
Board in 1871.
