The Reverend McFarlan was one of the ministers of the Canongate, Edinburgh and his Inquiries Concerning the Poor (1782) is one of the most important surveys of poverty and provision for paupers in the United Kingdom. The author has first hand experience of these provisions in Edinburgh and Southern Scotland, and compares them with those in the great cities of England, and with provision in Holland. His work was read by both John Howard and Sir Frederick Morton Eden.
