How the Poor Live (1883)

""How The Poor Live"" is a book written by George Robert Sims and originally published in 1883. The book is a collection of articles that Sims wrote for the newspaper ""The Referee"" about the lives of the poor in London's East End during the late 19th century. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the daily struggles and hardships faced by the working-class people living in poverty at the time. Sims describes the overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions, the lack of access to basic necessities such as food and healthcare, and the constant threat of unemployment and destitution. He also explores the social and moral issues that arise from poverty, such as crime, prostitution, and alcoholism. Through his writing, Sims aims to raise awareness of the plight of the poor and to encourage social reform to improve their living conditions. The book is considered a significant work of social commentary and an important historical document that sheds light on the realities of life for the working-class during the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
