Format:Kindle Edition
I am reading this book at the moment and would highly reccomend it, it is interesting in a way that you feel you are walking the street as if you were there, as you read it there is a lot of information describing the area and the people, the persons thoughts and opinions and you also get a good understanding of what London really looked like and how things were done back then, i find it easy to read, i normally read different books to this to be honest so its quite differnt to what i am used to, i have learnt things and laughed at what is written and have told my husband things which he has been surprised at , he loves books about history...

For anyone with any interest in 18th century England this is a worthwhile read. Very accessible social history with a good description of everyday life of the time, all the better for being written from a foreigner's point of view. If you are interested in your English genealogy then this will give you an idea of the lives your ancestors may have lived.

As someone who is hugely interested in early modern England I have read much that describes the period in broad brush strokes. However this book offers a fascinating insight into social details that are not a part of political movements, battle scenarios or scientific discoveries. This is a look at the small people who are the backdrop to the big picture. Read it and find the real eighteenth century.

If this had not been a free classic for my Kindle I might never have read it. I am so delighted that I did. I feel as if I have had a real insight into 18th century England. Read more

You take one slice after the other and hold it to the fire on a fork till the butter is melted, so that it penetrates a number of slices at once: this is called toast.

This is a press in which, by means of very strong iron springs, a written paper may be printed on another blank paper, and you thus save yourself the trouble of copying; and at the same time multiply your own handwriting.

I was now confirmed in my suspicions, that, in England, any person undertaking so long a journey on foot, is sure to be looked upon and considered as either a beggar or a vagabond, or some necessitous wretch, which is a character not much more popular than that of a rogue;
