London's Underworld. Edited by Peter Quennell. Mayhew, Henry.:

Inside very clean. Paged edges easily dusty. In 1862, eleven years after the publication of Henry Mayhew's gigantic survey of conditions among the London proletariat, 'London Labour and the London Poor', a fourth volume was added to the series. Previously Mayhew had concerned himself with those who were prepared to work, provided employment could be found, or whose means of livelihood, though often haphazard or bohemian, were not definitely outside the law. In this new volume, however he and his collaborators described the lawless - thieves, beggars, prostitutes, swindlers - the outcasts of society, who supported themselves by preying upon the vice or credulity of their more prosperous neighbors.
