Publisher's Synopsis

First Published in 1971. This is a collection of the influential letters (or articles) on the 'Labour and the Poor' written by Henry Mayhew for the Morning Chronicle as part of his contributions to the papers' survey of conditions among the lower classes. Charles Kingsley and the Christian Socialists pressed for sanitation reform because of Mayhew's revelations about Jacob's Island, a slum in south London.
