	CSISS Classics - Henry Mayhew: London Labour and the London Poor, 1861
		Henry Mayhew was born into a wealthy London family, one of seventeen siblings.

		London Labour and the London Poor originated in a series of articles written for the Morning Chronicle in 1849-50, when Mayhew was at the height of his powers as a journalist, and was eventually published in four volumes in 1861-2.
		Mayhew had no theoretical or political axe to grind, and eschewed vague philanthropy: he was as prepared to attribute the hardships of the poor to themselves as to society.
		Nevertheless, his outlook was compassionate and practical; and his aim was simply to report.
