London Labour and the London Poor Volume IV

Henry Mayhew

London Labour and the London Poor Volume IV, published in 1862 by Henry Mayhew, is the final installment of a comprehensive four-volume study on the lives of the impoverished in London. This volume focuses on those who refuse to work, including prostitutes, swindlers, thieves, and beggars. Co-authored with Bracebridge Hemyng, John Binny, and Andrew Halliday, it includes statistical appendices with maps and tables comparing the conditions across England and Wales. Mayhew's work is notable for its detailed examination of the social issues facing the poor during the Victorian era.
