Strana 468 - Greenwich may receive ten shillings a day; that labouring men may be as little used to dine without meat as they now are to eat rye bread; that sanitary police and medical discoveries may have added several more years to the average length of human life; that numerous comforts and luxuries which are now unknown, or confined to a few, may be within the reach of every diligent and thrifty working man.
Strana 458 - In former ages we used to give, So that our workfolks like farmers did live ; But the times are changed, we will make them know. * • * • * We will make them to work hard for sixpence a day, Though a shilling they deserve if they had their just pay; If at all they murmur and say 'tis too small, We bid them choose whether they'll work at all.

It was necessary to use marks which the most ignorant could understand. The shops were therefore distinguished by painted or sculptured signs, which gave a gay and grotesque aspect to the streets.

The expense of transmitting heavy goods in this way was enormous. From London...
Strana 394 - Square was a receptacle for all the offal and cinders, for all the dead cats and dead dogs of Westminster. At one time a cudgel player kept the ring there. At another time an impudent squatter settled himself there, and built a shed for rubbish under the windows of the gilded saloons in which the first magnates of the realm, Norfolks, Ormonds, Kents, and Pembrokes, gave banquets and balls.
