Schwartz starts with the sights, sound, and smells of the metropolis-a city of steeples, chimneys, coal smoke, and intolerable street noise-and surveys in succession Work and Money, Pastimes and Pleasures, Daily Routines and Domestic Life, Travel and Transportation, and Health and Hygiene and concludes with a gallery of street 'Londoners,' an independent and assertive lot, notably insolent to foreigners, especially those in French clothes.\"-Washington Post Book World\"Outstanding. . . . The author packs a remarkable quantity of detail into a small space, even including a discussion of price and wage figures that will be intelligible to Americans [today]. . . . His prose is lucid, graceful, lively. Generously illustrated, the book also includes an extensive bibliography.\"-Choice\"An excellent source for English Literature and history students studying this period or Samuel Johnson.\"-Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679182332144,"sku":"NEW0299094944","price":18.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/daily-life-in-johnsons-london-by-schwartz-richard-b","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
