vox Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Decided to give it a quick glance but I'm now on page 35 of the 50 or so. Someone should dramatise it. It would make a good Radio 4 play or even a short TV play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend so much time finding "stuff", I rarely get to read much, here's hoping somebody reads the links and extracts anything of Sheffield, or even general interest.

Guest TheBotanical Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I am currently writing my dissertation on Samuel Roberts and find his pamphlets and letters fascinating. Not only does he openly attack the New Poor Law but he very publicly also attacks the Guardians too in his writings. At some points Mr Roberts attacks not only the job the guardians are doing but also he attacks their families. I hope to be posting more on Mr Roberts within this next year.
