First published in 1952, this is a full-scale and definitive
account of the life and work of Sir Edwin Chadwick. Among the
sources used are the Chadwick Papers, the Peel, Place, Russell and
Gladstone Papers, the Home Office, Treasury and Ministry of Health
papers and the minutes and documents of the Metropolitan Commission
of Sewers. Centred on this mass of material, this book demonstrates
that the great social reforms of the Victorian age should be
attributed, not so much to the Cabinets, but to the labours of a
handful of civil servants. It also argues that Edwin Chadwick was
the most influential of these civil servants and through this
illuminating biography, Professor Finer gives an account of early
Victorian administration as seen from inside. This book will be of
interest to those studying Victorian social reform, the history of
the welfare state and social policy.
