Overview
From costermongers to ex-convicts, from chimney-sweeps to vagrants, the underprivileged of London are brought to life in this book, where their plight is expressed through a blend of first person accounts and statistics. It originated in a series of newspaper articles that grew into a four volume account of the working-classes of London.
