In this compelling fourth volume, subtitled A Cyclopaedia of the Condition and Earnings of Those That Will Work, Those That Cannot Work, and Those That Will Not Work, Henry Mayhew delves into the lives of those who refuse to engage in labor, including prostitutes, swindlers, thieves, and beggars. Co-authored with Bracebridge Hemyng, John Binny, and Andrew Halliday, this 1862 publication meticulously chronicles the struggles of Londons poor. The work highlights the stark realities of society, revealing the nuanced conditions faced by different groups. Note that arithmetical errors have been preserved for authenticity. The Appendix features various maps and statistical tables comparing the counties of England and Wales, which may be of less interest to casual listeners. Enjoy insights brought to life through the engaging narration of Peter Yearsley and Gillian Hendrie.
