Revolution of 1834 in United Kingdom

Revolution of 1834 and the 1834 Report

In this issue about revolution of 1834, the book “English Poor Law Policy” [1] reads as follows: It is unnecessary for us even to refer to the disastrous chaos into which the Poor Law and its local administration had in 1832 fallen, or to the events which led up to the celebrated Royal Commission appointed in that year. Their report, presented in 1834, and the Poor Law Amendment Act of the same year, together form the starting-point of all subsequent legislation and administration.
