"This volume concludes Mr. Henry Mayhew's account of his researches into the 

 crime and poverty of London. The amount of labour of one kind or other, which tlie 

 whole series of his publications represents, is something almost incalculable." — Literary 

 Budget. 



^*, This celebrated Record of Investigations into the condition of the Poor of the 

 Metropolis, undertaken from philanthropic motives by Mr. Henry Mayhew, first gave the 

 wealthier classes of England some idea of the state of Heathenism, Degradation, and Misery 

 in which multitudes of their poorer brethren languished. His revelations created, at the 

 time of their appearance, universal horror and excitement — that a nation, professedly 

 Christian, should have in its midst a vast population, so sunk in ignorance, vice, and veiy 

 hatred of Religion, was deemed incredible, until further examination established the truth 

 of the statements advanced. The result is well known. The London of Mr. Mavhkw will, 

 happily, soon exist only in his pages. To those who would appreciate the eflTorts already 

 made among the ranks which recruit our "dangerous" classes, and who would learn what 

 yet remains to be done, the work will afford enlightenment, not unmingled with surprise.
