Alongside other posthumous writings Dr. Chalmers and the Poor Laws was edited by officials of the Charity Organisation Society, established in 1869. The Society was influenced by Chalmers' principles in its practice of discriminating charity and individual casework. Problems of Poverty was edited by Henry Hunter who had been President of the Society of Poor Law officials in Scotland. These works were published at a time when there was renewed interest in the respective responsibilities for welfare of State and citizen.
