Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A century after the Industrial Revolution began, some Victorians
finally began to confront the problems industrialisation and
urbanisation had wrought. The remarkable proliferation of new
factories, railways and docks owned by massively wealthy
entrepreneurs created new depths of poverty and deprivation, which
outraged philanthropist and researcher Charles Booth. These two
maps, commissioned by Booth and the first of their kind, classify
London streets into seven categories, from the very poor lowest
class mainly in the east end (but with some surprising enclaves in
the fashionable west) right up to the wealthy upper classes in
Marylebone and Mayfair. A fascinating resource for genealogists,
historians and all lovers of London's past.
