List of Authorities.

List of Authorities.By far the most valuable general work of reference uponProblems of Povertyis Charles Booth'sLabour and Life of the People(Williams & Norgate). By the side of this work on London may be set Mr Rowntree'sPoverty: A Story of Town Life(Macmillan). A large quantity of valuable material exists inThe Report of the Industrial Remuneration Conference, and in theReports of the Lords' Committee on the Sweating Systemand of theLabour Commission. Among shorter and more accessible works dealing with the industrial causes of poverty and the application of industrial remedies, Toynbee'sIndustrial Revolution(Rivington); Gibbins'Industrial History of England (University Extension Series, Methuen & Co.); and Jevons'The State in Relation to Labour (English Citizen Series), will be found most useful. For a clear understanding of the relation of economic theory to the facts of labour and poverty, J.E. Symes'Political Economy(Rivington), and Marshall'sEconomies of Industryare specially recommended.Among the large mass of books and pamphlets bearing on special subjects connected withProblems of Poverty, the following are most useful. An asterisk is placed against the names of those which deserve special attention, and which are easily accessible.Sweating and Its Causes.* Booth,Labour and Life of the People.*Final Report of Lords' Committee on the Sweating System.Marx, "Capital," chap. xv.,Machinery and Modern Industry(Sonnenschein).Burnett,Report to the Board of Trade on Sweating(Blue-Book, 1887)."Socialism,"Fabian Essays(Walter Scott).Booth,Pauperism and the Endowment of Old Age(Macmillan).J.
