The Morning Chronicle Survey of Labour and the Poor

The six-volume series presents Henry Mayhew's comprehensive survey for the Morning Chronicle, originally written between 1849 and 1850. It covers diverse topics, including cholera outbreaks in Jacob's Island and London's food markets. This complete collection marks the first time Mayhew's influential work is available in its entirety. The first volume features letters from October to November 1849 and is introduced by Dr. Peter Razzell, a co-editor of the national survey.
