'It is our intention...to present a list of the most beautiful women in London - their names and residences - whether kept in private, or trading on "their own bottoms"'. 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'. The book closes with a useful guide to contemporary London criminal slang ('Explanation of the Flash Words Now in Use in the Metropolis'), for example: 'Academy - A Brothel'; 'Angels - Young Unmarried Women'; 'Anointed - Ripe for Mischief'; 'Barking Irons - Pistols'; 'Beaks' Men - Police Officers'; 'Betty - Picklock Key'; 'Bit of Muslin - A Sweetheart'; 'Blow the Gab - To Inform Against a Person'; 'Bolt the Moon - Cheating the Landlord'; 'Bunch of Fives - Closed Fists'; 'Cag Mag - Bad Meat'; 'Canary Bird - Inmate of a Prison'; 'Dimper Mot - An Enchanting Girl'; 'Drawing a Wiper - Stealing a Handkerchief'; 'Dub the Jigger - Fasten the Door'; 'Giving Turnips - Cutting an Acquaintance'; 'Glue - A Fashionable Disease'; 'Hempen Widow - The Wife of a Man Hanged'; 'Lightning - English Gin'; 'Low Water Mark - Little or No Money'; 'Lumber a Ticker - To Pawn a Watch'; 'Moisten Your Chaffer - To Drink'; 'Monkey Up - Violent Passion'; 'On the Mallet - Goods on Tick'; 'Wet the Other Eye - Another Glass'.
