A History of the Cries of London, Ancient and Modern

We frequently meet with the pieman in old prints; and, in Hogarths March to Finchley, there he stands in the very centre of the crowd, grinning with delight at the adroitness of one robbery, while he is himself the victim of another. We learn from this admirable figure by the greatest painter of English life, that the pieman of the last century perambulated the streets in professional costume; and we gather further, from the burly dimensions of his wares, that he kept his trade alive by the laudable practice of giving a good pennyworth for a penny. Justice compels us to observe that his successors of a later generation have not been very conscientious observers of this maxim.
