Excerpt from London Labour and the London Poor, Vol. 3: A Cyclopedia of the Condition and Earnings of Those That Will Work, Those That Cannot Work, and Those That Will Not WorkN the Brill, or rather in Brill-place, I Somers'-town, there is a variety of courts branching out into Chapel-street, and in one of the most angular and obscure of these is to be found a perfect nest of rat-catchers - not altogether professional rat-catchers, but for the most part sporting mechanics and coster mongers. The court is not easily to be found, being inhabited by men not so well known in the immediate neighbourhood as perhaps a mile or two away, and only to be discovered by the aid and direction of the little girl at the neighbouring cat's-meat shop.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

At Gore House last August, when the 'Bands of Hope ' were there, I took about a pound." Blind Profile-cutter. A Cherrful blind man, well known to all crossing Waterloo or Hungerford-bridges, gave me the following account of his figurecutting:--"I had the measles when I was seven, and became blind; but my sight was restored by Dr. Jeffrey, at old St. George's Hospital. After that I had several relapses into total blindness in consequence of colds, and since 1840 I have been quite blind, excepting that I can partially distinguish the sun and the gas-lights, and such-like, with the left eye only. I am now 81, and was brought up to house-painting. When I was last attacked with blindness I was obliged to go into St. Martin's workhouse, where I underwent thirteen operations in two years.

Then I sold boot-laces and tapes in the street, and averaged 5s. a-week by it--certainly not more. Next I made little wooden tobaccostoppers in the street, in the shape of legs--they're called 'legs.' The first day I started in that line--it was in Tottenham-court-road--I was quite elated, for I made half-a-crown.

I established myself soon after I began this trade by the Victoria-gate, Bayswater; that was the best pitch I ever had--one day I took? 15s., and I averaged 30s. a-week for six weeks. At last...
