Life and Labour of the People in London
- Life and Labour of the People in London
Life and Labour of the People in London was a multi-volume book by Charles Booth which provided a survey of the lives and occupations of the working classes of late nineteenth century London. The first edition was published in two volumes as "Life and Labour of the People", Vol. I (1889) and "Labour and Life of the People", Vol II (1891). [The reversal of the words in the title of the second volume was due to the original title "Life and Labour" being claimed by Samuel Smiles who wrote a similarly titled book in 1887.] The second edition was entitled "Life and Labour of the People in London", and was produced in 9 volumes 1892-97. A third edition, running to a grand total of seventeen volumes appeared 1902-3. ["Charles Booth's London" (1969) edited by Albert Fried and Richard Elman. London, Hutchinson]
