The Morning Chronicle survey of labour and the poor: the metropolitan districts. - Volume 4

In the years 1849 and 1850, Henry Mayhew was the metropolitan correspondent of the 'Morning Chronicle' in its national survey of labour and the poor.

Only about a third of his 'Morning Chronicle' material was included in his later and better known, publication, 'London Labour and the London Poor'.

First published in 1981, this series of six volumes constitutes Henry Mayhew's complete Morning Chronicle survey, in the sequence in which it was originally written in 1849 and 1850.

This fourth volume contains letters from March to May 1850.
