London Labour and the London Poor, Vol. 1

The present volume is the first of an intended series, which it is hoped will form, when complete, a cyclopdia of the industry, the want, and the vice of the great Metropolis. It is believed that the book is curious for many reasons: It surely may be considered curious as being the first attempt to publish the history of a people, from the lips of the people themselvesgiving a literal description of their labour, their earnings, their trials, and their sufferings, in their own unvarnished language; and to pourtray the condition of their homes and their families by personal observation of the places, and direct communion with the individuals. It may be considered curious also as being the first commission of inquiry into the state of the people, undertaken by a private individual, and the first blue book ever published in twopenny numbers. It is curious, moreover, as supplying information concerning a large body of persons, of whom the public had less knowledge than of the most distant tribes of the earththe government population returns not even numbering them among the inhabitants of the kingdom; and as adducing facts so extraordinary, that the traveller in the undiscovered country of the poor must, like Bruce, until his stories are corroborated by after investigators, be content to lie under the imputation of telling such tales, as travellers are generally supposed to delight in. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
