London labour and the London poor : a cyclopaedia of the condition and earnings of those that will work, those that cannot work, and those that will not work / by Henry Mayhew.

Imprint from t.p. of v. 1; v. 1 and 2 issued by the office of the London chronicle; t.p. of v. 3 has imprint of Griffin, Bohn, and Company, dated 1861.
Originally issued in 63 parts, with 50 parts comprising books 1 and 2 of "The Street folk" and 13 parts comprising "Those that will not work".
Vol. 2 of library's copy lacks t.p. and contains the two separately paginated sections of Mayhew's work entitled "The Street folk: book the second" and "Those that will not work", with the second part of "The Street folk" ending with page 432, the remaining pages 433-507 being bound in at the head of v. 3 and duplicate copies of pages 397-432 (parts 49 and 50) bound in at the end of v. 3.
Vol. 1: iv, 492 p.; v. 2: 507, 192 p.; v. 3: 510 p.
With wood-engraved illustrations by Walter George Mason and Elijah Whymper, after drawings by Henry George Hine and Henry Anelay. Some of the illustrations are based on daguerreotypes by Richard Beard.
The work has a complicated publishing history, details of which are described in Humpherys (see especially pages 26 and 106-107). Volume 1 was first published in 1851, volume 2 not before 1856, and volume 3 apparently in 1861. Volume 2 ends mid-sentence (on page 432) due to a contract dispute between Mayhew and his printer, George Woodfall.
