Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Life of Yesterday IN the following -pages I have endeavoured to produce a series of clearly defined pictures of certain notable epochs into which London History may be divided. No attempt has been made to trace consecutively or to discuss in detail the political, the social, or the religious life of the various periods dealt with. F or such a treatment of the subject the reader may be referred to the scholarly writings of Mr. Loftie and Dr. Sharpe, or to the pleasant pages of Sir Walter Besant's leisurely volumes. What I have tried to essay in this small volume is rather such a presentment of particular epochs as may serve for a background, which the reader can fill in at his leisure from works of a more ambitious and specialized character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of London Life, Vol. 1 of 2 The interest which continues to be felt in everything connected with metropolitan society and manners, in conjunction with the remark able success which his previous works on similar subjects has met with, has induced the Author to present the public with two more volumes illustrative of London Life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Characters and the Humorous Side of London Life: With Upwards of Seventy Illustrations Volve. Of these men and women who pass and repass me in the crowded street, one is an only son, on whose progress in life his bereaved mother has staked her happiness; another is the ne'er-do-weel husband of' a spirit-broken, but still loving wife; a third is a husband that is to be; a fourth' is the father of a big hungry family - every one, from peer to beggar, is the living centre of some social scheme. They are all so much alike, and yet so widely different; their stories are so wonderfully similar in their broad outlines, and yet so strangely unlike in their minute particulars. Just as one man's face is like another's, so is the story of his life no two faces are exactly alike, yet all have many points in common.

This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of London Life, or Phases, Physiological and Social, of the Great Metropolis In something resembling at least a literary garb. It is true there was no other necessity for this than the necessity, perhaps, of my, own vanity or capricious fancy - but which was so far imperative, that had I not written in this way, I should not have written at all. The reader may, however, rely upon the truth of the details he will here peruse. The only fictions are those harmless and transparent ones in which the writer has chosen sometimes, for obvious reasons, to involve both himself and some designations of persons and places which it would not have been prudent to call by their real names. The several characters on his canvas are all studies from the life, and the back-grounds in which they figure may be verified at any hour by the dweller in London. In some few cases, where per sonal narratives are given, they are in substance the actual experience of the personages to whom they are attributed - with the exception of one or two, the living prototypes of which only supplied a general outline, which it was left to imagination to fill up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labour of the People in London I have at times doubted whether the prolongation of this work has had any other basis than an inability on my part to come to a conclusion. I have asked myself whether I should indeed have anything more to tell my readers than had been already told in previous volumes. My first attempt was to enumerate the mass of the people of London in classes according to degrees of poverty or comfort and to indicate the conditions of life in each class. In connection with this attempt I mapped out the streets in colours and endeavoured to show by sample descriptions the kind of persons dwelling therein, their habits and the manner of their lives. A second and similar classification, the results of which were published at the same time, was based on what I could learn of the children in elementary schools; and in connection with this the educational opportunities offered to these and other children in London were described.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone London Life: Pictures From a Vanished Past At the twelvepenny ordinary the company was choicer - knights, courtiers, and gallants rubbed shoulders with tem'plars, justices of the peace up from' the country, and gay citizens with money in their pouches, who wished to cut a dash with the fashionable young men from the Court.
