"Report to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State For the Home Department" by Edwin Chadwick is a non-fiction account from the 1800s about the unhealthy state of life for workers in Great Britain, pinpointing the sources of sickness and possible changes to improve living environments. Sparked by orders from 1839 Poor Law Commissioners and Lord John Russell's interest, the investigation reveals the sad link between being poor, where one lives, and how healthy they are. Chadwick explains how details were gathered from unions, local leaders, and doctors, and the tone is serious, as it introduces information and stories concerning poor living conditions, cleanliness, showing the need to examine societal reasons that contribute to health differences in Britain.
