The Morning Chronicle Survey of Labour and the Poor

The complete Morning Chronicle survey by Henry Mayhew, first published in 1981, offers a comprehensive look at 19th-century London, covering diverse topics such as cholera outbreaks and food markets. This six-volume series presents Mayhew's original work from 1849 and 1850 in its entirety for the first time. The fifth volume features letters written between June and September 1850, providing insights into the social conditions of the time. An introduction by Dr. Peter Razzell enhances the context of this pioneering sociological study.
