It was a magnet that drew men and women from the rest of England in huge numbers. For a few the streets were paved with gold, but 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 labor. 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 606 $aPoor$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y18th century 606 $2General & world history 607 $aLondon (England)$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y18th century 615 0$aPoor$xHistory 676 $a942.1'07 700 $aHitchcock$b Tim$f1957-$01620677 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812973203321 996 $aDown and out in eighteenth-century London$93953565 997 $aUNINA
