Ewing (James Ewing) 1820 1898 Ritchie, James Ewing Crayon, Christopher Days and Nights in London; Or, Studies in Black and Gray Transcribed from the 1880 Tinsley Brothers edition by David Price "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. The beginning of the volume sets the stage by reflecting on how London's landscape has changed over the past twenty-five years. Ritchie discusses the magnitude of the city, highlighting its immense population and the diverse array of cultures and societal issues present within it. The preface indicates that this work serves as a continuation of his earlier observations on the city's nighttime activities and the resultant impact of these on the populace. The opening chapters explore the various facets of London life, suggesting a need for social awareness and moral reform, as Ritchie notes the struggles of the working class amid its vices and societal challenges.
