Publisher's Synopsis

Low-Life Deeps is a non-fiction book written by James Greenwood in 1876. The book is an account of the author's journey through the slums of Victorian London, specifically the area known as ""Low-Life Deeps"". The book provides a vivid and detailed description of the strange and often disturbing fish that can be found in the polluted waters of the River Thames. Greenwood's account is not limited to the fish, however. He also describes the living conditions of the people who inhabit the slums, including their poverty, disease, and desperation. He provides a candid look into the lives of those who are forced to live in such squalor and the challenges they face on a daily basis. Throughout the book, Greenwood's writing is both informative and engaging. He uses vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes to bring the reader into the world of Low-Life Deeps. The book also includes illustrations of the fish and other creatures that Greenwood encountered during his journey. Overall, Low-Life Deeps is a fascinating and eye-opening look at a forgotten corner of Victorian London. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of London or the social and environmental issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
