The Inspector General - Sir Jeremiah Fitzpatrick and Social Reform, 1783-1802

Originally published in 1981, much of the interest of the book lies in its revelation of late eighteenth century anticipations of mid-nineteenth century government. It also explores the differences between the two forms of administration and the reasons for the divergences and discontinuities.
