London in the eighteenth century was the greatest city in the
world, and a magnet that drew men and women from the rest of
England in huge numbers. If for a few the streets were paved with
gold, for the majority it was a harsh world with little guarantee
of money or food. For the poor and destitute, London's streets
offered little more than the barest living. Yet men, women and
children found a great variety of ways to eke out their existence,
sweeping roads, selling matches, singing ballads and performing all
sorts of menial labour. Many of these activities, apart from the
direct begging of the disabled, depended on an appeal to charity,
but one often mixed with threats and promises. Down and Out in
Eighteenth-Century London provides a remarkable insight into the
lives of Londoners, for all of whom the demands of charity and
begging were part of their everyday world. >
