Folio: 2. 10-5/8" x 6-3/4" <br/><br/>Gabler though not listing this item does briefly discuss & list divers tracts & pamphlets written in the early 1640s voicing public outrage over a contract between Charles I and the Vintner's Company of London- under said contract the Vintners agreed to pay a 46 shilling tax on every ton of Spanish & French wine & also agreed to annually buy a certain amount from English importers. In return the vintners were permitted to sell cooked victuals a proviso not in their original charter & allowed to recoup the tax by charging a penny a quart more that the officially published price. The ultimate effect was to give the Vintners' Company a monopoly on the wine trade all the while enriching the coffers of Charles I. Needless to say wine drinkers were livid. Parliament eventually responded in the consumers' favor. Gabler pp. 2-3.

1871161381871. Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life 1871 documents the parliamentary investigation of infant welfare paid infant care mortality and state regulation in Victorian Britain. The report documents the emerging system of infant life protection through committee proceedings witness testimony appendices and an index revealing how legislators gathered medical legal and social evidence to define infant neglect as a matter requiring public oversight. Produced one year before the Infant Life Protection Act of 1872 the volume provides primary-source evidence for the study of child welfare law women's labor and caregiving economies public health regulation infant mortality and the legal history of "baby farming" a term used in nineteenth-century debates over paid care for infants. The 1872 legislation has been identified by historians as Britain's first infant life protection legislation making this parliamentary report important to the documentary record behind early state intervention in private infant care.<br /> <br /> Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life. Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life together with the Proceedings of the Committee Minutes of Evidence Appendix and Index. London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 20 July 1871. First edition. 328 pp. Rebound in modern cloth. The report includes the committee's formal proceedings minutes of evidence appendix and index giving the volume a structured evidentiary record rather than a general policy summary. Its contents outline testimony and documentary material on infant care outside the immediate family social conditions affecting infant survival legal deficiencies and the need for enforceable protections. As a government publication it shows the mechanisms of parliamentary fact-finding in practice: evidence was collected organized indexed and converted into a legislative record that helped frame infant protection as a matter of law public health and social administration.<br /> <br /> The report belongs to the broader nineteenth-century movement toward state scrutiny of child welfare women's caregiving labor and domestic arrangements previously treated as private matters. Its timing matters because it precedes the 1872 Act and captures the evidentiary process by which infant mortality and paid infant nursing entered the legislative sphere. First few pages including title page with small loss at right page edge not affecting legibility; handwritten page numbers in upper right corners throughout; pages bright and clean; overall good. A substantial parliamentary source for research into Victorian child welfare infant mortality gendered labor public health law and the development of modern protective regulation. unknown
