Book Overview
""Change for a Shilling"" is a book written by Horace Mayhew and published in 1848. It is a collection of stories and sketches that offer a glimpse into the lives of the working-class people in 19th-century London. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of everyday life in the city, such as street vendors, beggars, and public houses. Mayhew's writing is characterized by his attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the people he writes about. He uses humor and wit to convey the struggles and hardships of the working-class, and he also sheds light on the social and economic conditions of the time. Overall, ""Change for a Shilling"" is a fascinating look at life in Victorian London and a valuable piece of social history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
