Description

Explore the historical roots of modern administration with this Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1963, this volume provides a detailed analysis of how local government structures began to take shape. The text examines the organization of the Commissioners of Sewers, the Incorporated Guardians of the Poor, the Turnpike Trusts, and the Improvement Commissioners. By looking at the constitutional features of these statutory authorities, the authors, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, argue that these eighteenth-century bodies represent the early foundations of many contemporary local government services. This work is an essential resource for those interested in political science, the history of government, and the evolution of social administration. It offers a unique look at the development of public service structures through a historical lens, making it a valuable addition to any academic or historical library.
