Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Josephine Shaw Lowell, another pioneer, wrote in the preface of her book on Public Relief and Private Charity: There is not, per haps, an original thought or suggestion in itz - an important part of it is direct and verbal quotation; and to every student of the subject it will be apparent that almost the whole of it is taken from the writings of wise men and women who have lived during the past hundred years.
