Henry Mayhew The Morning Chronicle Survey of Labour & the Poor: The

First published in 1981, this series of six volumes constitutes Henry Mayhews complete Morning Chronicle survey, in the sequence in which it was originally written in 1849 and 1850. It addresses a wealth of topics from cholera in the Jacobs Island area to the food markets of London. The publication of this complete survey represented the first time in which the whole of Mayhews pioneering work was available in one place. The set is introduced by Dr Peter Razzell, who was coeditor of the national Morning Chronicle survey. This sixth volume contains letters from September to December 1850. This series will be of interest to those studying the history of social welfare, poverty and urbanisation. | Henry Mayhew The Morning Chronicle Survey of Labour & the Poor: The
