"A History of the Cries of London, Ancient and Modern" by Charles Hindley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the unique and colorful street cries of London, which served as an important aspect of urban life, reflecting the culture, commerce, and character of its inhabitants. Through the examination of these cries, Hindley offers insights into various trades, social conditions, and the city's evolution over time. The opening portion of the work introduces the book's premise and acknowledges the influences that inspired Hindley, including earlier collectors and historians of London's street literature. It highlights the significance of street cries in the cultural tapestry of London, drawing on examples from authors and artists who depicted these audacious traders. The text begins with historical context, discussing the early emergence of street cries, such as that recorded by poet John Lydgate, while introducing the idea that these cries have persisted through the ages, connecting the present with the past in a vibrant narration of city life.
