Joseph Kay

Joseph Kay QC (February 27, 1821 – October 9, 1878) was an English economist.

He was born at Salford, Lancashire, the brother of Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth, 1st Baronet and Sir Edward Kay. Educated privately and at Trinity College, Cambridge, he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1848. He was appointed judge of the Salford Hundred court of record in 1862 and in 1869 was made a Queen's Counsel. He is best known for a series of works on the social condition of the poor in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria, the materials for which he gathered on a four years tour as travelling bachelor of his university. They were "The Education of the Poor in England and Europe" (London, 1846); "The Social Condition of the People in England and Europe" (London, 1850, 2 vols.); "The Condition and Education of Poor Children in English and in German Towns" (Manchester, 1853). He was also the author of "The Law relating to Shipmasters and Seamen" (London, 1875) and "Free Trade in Land" (1879, with a memoir). He died at Dorking, Surrey.
