The series offers a comprehensive look at Henry Mayhew's Morning Chronicle survey, originally conducted in 1849-1850, covering diverse topics such as cholera in Jacob's Island and London's food markets. This complete publication is the first to compile all of Mayhew's influential work in one set. Introduced by Dr. Peter Razzell, a co-editor of the survey, the fourth volume specifically includes letters from March to May 1850, providing valuable insights into the social conditions of the time.
