The review by L. L. Price discusses the book "Poverty: a Study of Town Life" by B. Seebohm Rowntree, which presents a detailed analysis of poverty in York, comparing it with Mr. Charles Booth's study of poverty in London. Rowntree's work is praised for its meticulous research, scientific approach, and the clarity with which it presents the findings. The author notes that Rowntree's investigation is thorough, with a focus on the "standard of life" and the "poverty line," and he provides a detailed classification of the population into seven classes based on income. The study highlights the significant proportion of the population living in poverty, both primary and secondary, and discusses the social and economic implications of this situation. Rowntree's work is also noted for its methodological rigor, the use of direct inquiry, and the careful consideration of the factors affecting the poor. The review concludes that Rowntree's book is a significant contribution to the study of poverty and is a valuable resource for economic and statistical students. The review also mentions another book, "Charity and the Poor Law" by S. D. Fuller, which discusses the administration of out-relief and the role of private charity in relation to the Poor Law. The review finds the book to be a useful contribution to the discussion on poverty and social welfare.The review by L. L. Price discusses the book "Poverty: a Study of Town Life" by B.
