Preston, William Carnall The Bitter Cry of Outcast London An Inquiry into the Condition of the Abject Poor Produced by MWS, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "The Bitter Cry of Outcast London" by Andrew Mearns and William C. Preston is an inquiry into the dire conditions faced by the impoverished and marginalized classes in London, published in the late 19th century. This disturbing account serves as a documentary and social critique, aiming to shed light on the abject poverty and moral degradation prevailing in urban life. The book highlights the significant gap between the conditions of the poor and the Church's insufficient response to their suffering. In this poignant investigation, Mearns and Preston expose the grim realities encountered in the slums of London. They describe the squalid living conditions, overcrowded tenements, and the rampant immorality that emerge as a result of poverty. The authors detail the hopelessness faced by many families, often highlighting heart-wrenching individual stories of neglect, disease, and despair among children's lives. They argue for the necessity of a concerted response from religious communities to combat these societal issues, emphasizing that alleviating such suffering should be an urgent and shared responsibility within the Church. Through their findings, Mearns and Preston implore readers to recognize the desperate need for action and to join the struggle against such profound misery.
