Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seven Curses of London The Pauper Population. - Pauper Children. - Opinions concerning their proper Treatment. - A Hundred Thousand Children loose in London Streets. - Neglected Babies. - Juvenile "Market Prowlers." It is a startling fact that, in England and Wales alone, at the present time, the number of children under the age of sixteen, dependent more or less on the parochial authorities for maintenance, amounts to three hundred and fifty thousand. It is scarcely less startling to learn that annually more than a hundred thousand criminals emerge at the doors of the various prisons, that, for short time or long time, have been their homes, and with no more substantial advice than "to take care that they don´t make their appearance there again," are turned adrift once more to face the world, unkind as when they last stole from it. This does not include our immense army of juvenile vagrants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
