Credits: Transcribed from the 1880 Tinsley Brothers edition by David Price
Summary: "Days and Nights in London; Or, Studies in Black and Gray" by J. Ewing Ritchie is a social commentary written in the late 19th century. This work examines the stark contrasts of life in London, focusing on its vast population, the disparities between wealth and poverty, and the vices prevalent among its inhabitants. Through detailed studies, the author aims to shed light on the oft-ignored darker sides of society, such as vice, philanthropy, and the lives of the lower classes.
