The Night Side Of London (1857)

The Night Side of London is a non-fiction book written by James Ewing Ritchie and originally published in 1857. The book provides a detailed and often shocking account of the darker side of Victorian London, including descriptions of poverty, crime, prostitution, and other forms of vice. The author explores the seedy underbelly of the city, taking readers on a tour of its most notorious neighborhoods and introducing them to its most unsavory characters. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a world that is often overlooked in traditional histories of the era, and it offers a unique perspective on the social and economic conditions of Victorian London. Despite its age, The Night Side of London remains a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of the city or the Victorian era in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
