'), speculative building ('...We passed through new quarters with rows of charming houses called places or terraces, got up in the newest fashion & called villas or cottages, they however were not yet inhabited... Each of these new streets you would take for a main street in any town, so wide, so long & so clean are they. We had a distant view of the Model Prison & a Gas-factory.

The fishmongers' shops looked very inviting as did the large opened lobsters that lay on the marble, displaying a solid mass of white meat...'), pauper funerals, brightly-lit arcades and shops, a blind man demonstrating braille, sandwich men ('...You will often see a man having a board back and front... walking patiently and monotonously backwards and forwards in the front of a house; sometimes, several men follow one after another with the same affiches...'), shopping expeditions to Oxford Street and environs, the Map Cave ('...16 or 18 views well worth seeing...'), the Soho Bazaar, and Christmas Day in the workhouse ('...On Christmas Day we went to the Workhouse of our Parish (St Pancras) where we saw portions distributed to the inmates (1320) men women and children. We were all offered by the Matron a portly blooming woman in a black silk dress, and attendants large pieces of excellent Plum pudding which was taken from the rest of the Plum puddings that were smoking around on large tables... finally to the Upper Room where about 50 little children from 1 to 6 years old were assembled , some around a very large table in the middle, some using benches as tables and sitting on little low footstools, others again on the ground around a warm blazing fire. A good discipline prevailed among this little Troop who looked healthy and had little ruddy fat cheeks; they seemed much better than the men and women who were very pale and haggard...'), c.34 pages, kept in a pocket account-book, first leaves loose, marbled paper wrappers, torn, 8vo, London, 5 October 1849 to 1 January 1850(ii) Recipe book, largely culinary with some medicinal, kept in several early 19th century hands, one employing phonetic spelling ('...A Costerd Pudden/ for a half pint basen a Quasrter of a pint of milk a lettel nutmeg sinimon an shouger an make it boal a lettel...'), many attributed, c.80 pages, in a contemporary green vellum clasped notebook, 8vo, 1818-1847 where datedThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •
