An abstract of the draught of a bill for relieving, reforming, and employing the poor; pursuant to a new discourse upon this subject. And in this newly propos'd scheme, for employing the now chargeable and unprofitable proof Britains, they probably may (after some few years) get six millions sterling per annum more (in local and universal wealth) than the like number of such men, women and children (as to age and infermity's) now get, in any part of Europe. To which is prefix'd, a brief account of three several bills, for the relief employment, and settlement of the poor, which, in 1704, the Right Honourable the House of Lords then order'd to be printed and published. The first of these, then had pass'd the House of Commons: the second was drawn by some of the then judges: the third was drawn by the then Lord Commissiners of trade
