Among his most powerful social writing, this first-hand account is based on London's experiences living in the East End (including the Whitechapel District) of London for several months, sometimes staying in workhouses or sleeping on the streets. The conditions he experienced and wrote about were the same as those endured by an estimated 500,000 of the contemporary London poor. Octavo.
Donated by The Book Shop, Covina, CA.
Condition
Original blue cloth binding, with gilt and black stamping. Bookplate to the front flyleaf. The front hinge is just starting and still quite sound. A bit of wear to the corners and tips.
