Occupations of the People: England, Scotland, Ireland, 1847-1881 (1886)

MR Charles Booth

Occupations of the People: England, Scotland, Ireland, 1847-1881 is a book written by Charles Booth and published in 1886. The book is a comprehensive study of the occupations of people living in England, Scotland, and Ireland during the period of 1847 to 1881. Booth was a social reformer and philanthropist who conducted extensive research on poverty and social conditions in the late 19th century. In this book, Booth presents a detailed analysis of the occupational structure of the three countries, including the distribution of occupations by gender and age, and the changes that occurred over the period studied. He also explores the relationship between occupation and social class, and the impact of industrialization and urbanization on the working population. The book is based on data collected from the census reports of the time, as well as from other sources such as trade directories and local histories. Booth's analysis is accompanied by numerous tables, graphs, and maps, which provide a visual representation of the data and make it easier to understand. Occupations of the People is an important work in the field of social history, and has been widely cited and referenced by scholars and researchers. It provides a valuable insight into the lives and working conditions of people in the 19th century, and highlights the inequalities and challenges faced by different social groups.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
