Description
First published in 1897, this collection of articles offers a candid look at the lives of the poor in Victorian London. The papers, originally published in The Pictorial World and The Daily News, provide a unique insight into the social and economic conditions of the time.
Written by George R. Sims, the work was compiled from his earlier book "How the Poor Live" and is presented in its original form. Sims aimed to enlist the sympathies of those who might not typically study the subject of poverty, and his approach is reflected in the work's tone.
With 90 pages of insightful commentary, this book provides a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the history of poverty in Great Britain during the late 19th century.
