Excerpt from The London Life of Yesterday In the following pages I have endeavoured to produce a series of clearly defined pictures of certain notable epochs into which London History may be divided. No attempt has been made to trace consecutively or to discuss in detail the political, the social, or the religious life of the various periods dealt with. For such a treatment of the subject the reader may be referred to the scholarly writings of Mr. Loftie and Dr. Sharpe, or to the pleasant pages of Sir Walter Besant's leisurely volumes. What I have tried to essay in this small volume is rather such a presentment of particular epochs as may serve for a background, which the reader can fill in at his leisure from works of a more ambitious and specialized character. A glance at the selection of books dealing with London life given in the Appendix will indicate how rich a literature we possess on the subject, and my obligations to the many who have specialized on certain epochs of its history are necessarily considerable. I have thought it better not to burden the volume with references, save in a few special instances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Study in Shirley's Comedies of London Life In investigating the facts concerning the comedy entitled The Ball preparatory to an edition of the play, I soon reached the con elusion that the main point upon which any new light could be shed was that of the authorship of the play, although there was always a tentative hope that in the course of general reading some corrob orative account of the so-called ball might be discovered. As the play was founded upon a bit of contemporary social scandal, the question of sources proved negligible; and the dates of compo sitiou and publication are seemingly indisputable. The problem of the text is greatly simplified by the fact that there is only one original edition. To these matters, then, I have only given inci dental treatment in the following monograph; and have endeav ored to exclude all matter that does not in some way contribute to a settlement of the authorship, with the exception of a. Few pages of conjecture as. To the nature of the amusement called the ballfl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Street Life in London Street Life in London, first published in 12 monthly parts beginning in February, 1877, is in the' tradition of such Victorian landmarks in social reporting as Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor. Like that most famous of its predecessors, Street Life was in effect a kind of non-government inspired blue book on social conditions in the metropolis, priced low enough for the very worker whose-(plight it depicted to afford.

Excerpt from London Characters and the Humorous Side of London Life: With Upwards of Seventy Illustrations Volve. Of these men and women who pass and repass me in the crowded street, one is an only son, on whose progress in life his bereaved mother has staked her happiness; another is the ne'er-do-weel husband of' a spirit-broken, but still loving wife; a third is a husband that is to be; a fourth' is the father of a big hungry family - every one, from peer to beggar, is the living centre of some social scheme. They are all so much alike, and yet so widely different; their stories are so wonderfully similar in their broad outlines, and yet so strangely unlike in their minute particulars. Just as one man's face is like another's, so is the story of his life no two faces are exactly alike, yet all have many points in common.

Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?

Excerpt from Bygone London Life: Pictures From a Vanished Past At the twelvepenny ordinary the company was choicer - knights, courtiers, and gallants rubbed shoulders with tem'plars, justices of the peace up from' the country, and gay citizens with money in their pouches, who wished to cut a dash with the fashionable young men from the Court.

Excerpt from The Spoils of Poynton: A London Life the Chaperon Away, almost always, before we can stop her, what are the signs for our guidance, what the primary laws for a saving selection, how do'we know when and where to intervene, where do we place the beginnings of the wrong or the-right deviation? Such would be the elements of an inquiry upon which, I hasten to say, it is quite forbidden me. Here to embark: I but glance at them in evidence of the rich pasture that at every turn surrounds the ruminant critic. The answer may be after all that mysteries here elude us, that general considerations fail or mislead, and that even the fondest of artists need ask no wider range than the logic of the particular case. The particular case, or in other words his relation to a given subject, once the relation is established, forms 1n itself a little world of exercise and agitation. Let him hold himself perhaps supremely fortunate if he can meet half the questions with which that air alone may swarm.
