Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical book offers an intriguing look at the state of public charities in the mid to late 1800s in America. The American public's awareness of the mistreatment and suffering endured by people in public care institutions was growing and this book tells the story of the first organized effort to bring reform to the largely unregulated and cruel system of the time. The author, Louisa Lee Schuyler, played a lead role in the founding of the New York State Charities Aid Association. Her description of the deplorable conditions she and other members of the association witnessed is eye-opening. Schuyler wasn't content with simply exposing the problem though. This book outlines the association's proposed solutions, many of which were adopted and became the framework for modern public charity systems in America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527848634_0
