Excerpt from Joseph Tuckerman on the Elevation of the Poor: A Selection From His Reports as Minister at Large in Boston
Joseph tuckerman has been, for a generation past, revered in Boston as one of its benefactors. To the system inaugurated by him it may fairly be said that Boston owes it that in every revulsion of business, or in any great calamity, her ordinary institutions of charitable relief have proved suth cient for whatever exigency. TO those systems the city of Boston owes it that there does not exist in her borders any focus of misery and crime, - the dread of the authorities Of government, and the shame of the ministers of religion. Poverty, crime, and pauperism there are in Boston, but for the most part they may be regarded not as chronic nor as endemic, but as, to a large extent, importations from without, or abnormal and exceptional. This happy condition may be fairly said to be in a large measure the result of the views which Dr. Tucker man inculcated, and of plans which he suggested.
