Excerpt from Unemployment: The Results of an Investigation Made in Lancashire and an Examination of the Report of the Poor Law Commission

The bulk of this work, apart from the Examination of the Report of the Poor Law Commission, appeared originally in the form of articles in the Manchester Guardian, and they are now republished in an amplified form with the consent of the Editor, to whom we desire to express our obligations. We desire also to offer our cordial thanks to the many persons who, in replies to circulars and letters and in private interviews, have materially assisted our investigation, and to the public authorities which have placed information at our disposal.
