Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from East London Visions This book is neither a novel nor (strictly speaking) an autobiography, but rather a statement and criticism of Life on an unusual plan. There is little chronological order or development in the story, which is that of a young man's struggle for a living in London. If the writer in this respect, as also in describing his characters as well as letting them speak for themselves, disregards accepted canons of Art, he does so not in ignorance - for occasionally it is evident that he knows and can observe these rules. He is as if setting down what occurs to him as it occurs, nor does he scruple to employ, as in natural conversation, the first personal pronoun. It would, however, be a mistake to think that behind all the narration there is not really a cogent plan, and even symbolism intended, though the more disguised by this apparently loose treatment.

The London County Council was a the world's largest municipal government and a laboratory for social experimentation before the Great War. It sought to master the problems of metropolitan amelioration, political economy and public culture. Pennybacker's social history tests the vision of London Progressivism against its practitioners' accomplishments. She argues that the historical memory of the hopes inspired by LCC achievement and the disillusions spawned by failure, are potent forces in today's deeply ambivalent responses to metropolitan politics in London. The `new women', bohemian London, scandal in the building industry, midwifery, lodging houses, children's provision and the music hall were all provocative issues in LCC work. Their story richly evokes life in the turn-of-the-century metropolis and illustrates the complexities of `municipal socialism'.
