The book describes the clubs, pubs and bars in which prostitutes are to be found ('The Spotted Horse - Those who like to look upon real flesh and blood women will be here delighted...we hate a living skeleton and would walk a mile to see a pretty woman'), as well as warnings ('Kelsey's - A notorious house for the informers...it is situated in Bow Street). The book describes individual prostitutes: 'Miss Allen...a perfect English beauty...she is in her nineteenth year; of symmetrical form...no one will regret passing an hour in her company, and drinking deep at that "mystic fountain" of human pleasure'; 'Mrs Buchan...she is about twenty-nine years of age; remarkably well formed, and possessing a pair of black eyes, bright enough to lead an anchorite to the path of error'; 'Mrs Smith...a very agreeable woman...in addition to pouting lips, which would tempt an anchorite, has a knack of coaxing a customer into a purchase which is novel and delightful. We recommend a trial'; 'Eliza Birch...resides in Buckingham Street, Fitzroy Square. Our heroine is a pretty, a very pretty woman, and, what is more, is possessed of considerable accomplishments, having received an excellent education'; 'Rose Paris...her bust is full and voluptuous, and is really a cradle for all the loves to dwell'; 'Miss Allison...her mouth is cast in the very mould of perfection, while her lips' rosy tinge would lure a hermit to wish to brush their dew'; 'Mrs Brougham...she is now verging fast into the "sear and yellow leaf" of time...she numbers amongst her admirers, a goodly train of sighing swains, who appear to enjoy the possession of a dame "fair, fat, and fifty", amongst whom we might, if we wished, name a certain amorous member of the highest class of the nobility'.
