Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Life and Leisure of London offers a problem as difficult as that of the Life and Work which Charles Booth is doing so much to solve - How do people who have no work to do spend the long hours of the day? How much time goes in lounging - how much is killed? How do workmen spend the leisure they gain with shorter hours of labour? What do members of the build ing trades do when they knock off work at four or five o'clock in the afternoon? What sorts of pleasure and recreation are possible, what are those they actually enjoy?
