THE PROBLEMS OF POVERTY 563 the fundamental principles of the system held their ground AD 1a for two hundred years till it broke down at last under the pressure caused by the Industrial Revolution. The dis- cussions which centred round this topic have an abiding interest, however, even when they seem to have been barren of any direct result. The criticisms to which the Elizabethan which scheme was subjected, and the modifications which were fs or proposed from time to time, afford evidence, which is none bongs 49 the less interesting because it is indirect, as to the changes conditions. which were occurring in social and economic conditions. The amendments were avowedly in regard to the practical administration of the system. In attempting to trace them we shall do well to remember how large was the sense in which the State had interpreted its duty to the poor. There wag, in the sixteenth century, a clear opinion that the Govern- ment ought to have a care for all those who were dependent, and not merely for the impotent, or for children. The sub- stantial man, who had the means of employing himself on his own land, or in his own calling, might be left to himself; but it was felt by Elizabeth and her advisers that supervision was needed to secure the welfare of the labourer, both as regards the conditions of his work and the periods when he was unemployed. It is clear that assiduous efforts were Tkedectine . . . coy Inthe made to enforce this system until the time of the Civil power of War?; but it is probable that after that event the pressure ofits was relaxed. The frequent supervision which had been Civil War exercised by the Privy Council appears to have fallen into abeyance ; and as separate counties and parishes were no longer subjected to constant centralised control, they could pursue the course of greatest advantage to their own neighbourhood. Under these circumstances there need be little surprise that the authoritative assessment of wages should have become a mere formality? or should have fallen into entire desuetudes. Acts chiefly passed in the reigns of Geo. ITI. and Geo. IV. giving power to the local authorities for the relief of their poor. 1 Morant (Essex, 1. 180) gives an excellent history of the provision for the poor in Colchester and testifies to the good working of the Elizabethan Act for about 10 vears. 2 Bee above, p. 44. 4 In addition to evidence adduced above compare H. Fielding, An Inquiry into the causes of the late Increase of Robbers (1751). . 55. 269
