The author was co-founder of Punch and a good journalist and wrote like one, 2 of his brothers were also writers, one became sub-editor of Punch, friends of Charles Dickens and may have some influence on his stance on poverty and voice for "improvement". He also remarkably, recorded voices in their natural narrative that still seem as alive today as the day they spoke to him. At the time some of the street traders formed an association to stop the itinerants from talking to him as they felt their lives were being in some ways "ridiculed". But they weren't, far from it. Truth often hurts. 41 Miniature autobiographies collected in this edition.
