Book Description
Excerpt from The Missing Link: Or, Bible-Women in the Homes of the London Poor This little volume scarcely requires a preface. The greater part of it has already had many readers. Its publication in the present form has arisen out of the necessity of collecting together truthful details of acknowledged interest, which have been scattered through the pages of a cheap monthly periodical, called the book and its missions. A summary of these is very frequently asked for, and they are here carefully rearranged, in the hope that the bless ing of God may follow them into a still wider circle, and use them for the further extension of the humble agency described.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Housing of the Working Classes and of the Poor A few words by way of preface will suffice to supply a key to the plan adopted in this little volume. Throughout it has been the set purpose of the writer to avoid every appearance of over-statement of the facts, and to keep clear of the hortatory method in bringing home the lessons to be learned therefrom. The facts are startling enough without the addition of realistic colouring, and i if the arguments founded on them be sound, and the course of action suggested reasonable, there is no need for special pleading in the monitory style. In the discussion of the Housing Question there has been a vast expenditure of warmth, and even heat. What is wanted is less emotional fervour and more light, as a directing force. In treating the subject in this spirit the present writer has been much assisted by his predecessors in the same field. Apart om making fu Uuse of Blue Books and official reports, he haa freely availed himself of the information to be found in the works of Mr. George Haw, Dr. E. Bowmaker, Mr. T. Locke Worthington, the various tracts on the subject published by the Fabian Society, and that most valuable repertoire of reliable information, Mr. W. Thompson's Housing Handbook.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pinch of Poverty: Sufferings and Heroism of the London Poor The sketches of life among the London poor comprised in this volume have the merit - and in such a connection it is by no means a minor merit - of having been studied and written from the life. There are few to whom it falls to see and hear so much of the pinch of poverty as the present writer has to do. For twenty years the busi ness of life with me has been the daily visitation of the poor; and as a matter of personal inclination, as well as of official duty, my work of visitation is of the most catholic order - is carried out irrespective not only of creed, but of character. I have to deal with all sorts and conditions of the poor, with the undeserving as well as the deserving, the sober, industrious, self-respecting poor, the poor but honest, and the poor whose poverty is allied with various less desirable qualities.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Housing of the Poor "Sub umbra alarum tuarum." "Englishmen are not likely, you may be sure, to let the State encroach too much; they are not likely to be not lovers enough of individual liberty and of individual self-assertion. Our dangers are all the other way. Our dangers are in exaggerating the blessings of self-will and self-assertion, in not being ready enough to sink our imperfectly informed self-will in view of a large general result." - Matthew Arnold.

Excerpt from Homes for the Homeless Ye friends to truth, ye statesmen, who survey The rich man's joys increase, the poor's decay 'tis yours to judge how wide the limits stand Between a plundered and a happy land. Proud swells the tide with loads of freighted ore, And shouting folly hails them from her shore; Hoards even beyond the miser's wish abound, And rich men ock from all the world around; Yet count our gains: this wealth is but a name That leaves our useful products still the same.

Book Description
Assembled from a series of newspaper articles first published in the newspaper *Morning Chronicle* throughout the 1840s, this exhaustively researched, richly detailed survey of the teeming street denizens of London is a work both of groundbreaking sociology and salacious voyeurism. In an 1850 review of the survey, just prior to its initial book publication, William Makepeace Thackeray called it "tale of terror and wonder" offering "a picture of human life so wonderful, so awful, so piteous and pathetic, so exciting and terrible, that readers of romances own they never read anything like to it." Delving into the world of the London "street-folk"-the buyers and sellers of goods, performers, artisans, laborers and others-this extraordinary work inspired the socially conscious fiction of Charles Dickens in the 19th century as well as the urban fantasy of Neil Gaiman in the late 20th. Volume I explores the lives of: the "wandering tribes" costermongers sellers of fish, fruits and vegetables sellers of books and stationery sellers of manufactured goods women and children on the streets and more. English journalist HENRY MAYHEW (1812-1887) was a founder and editor of the satirical magazine *Punch.*
