Victorian Dictionary
- Authentic period resources make this an insightful guide to the social history of Victorian London. Long before email, British postal mail made up to 12 deliveries a day -- although, in the Communications section, a gentleman complains that his letter posted at 1:30 p.m. didn't reach its destination until 9 p.m. the same day. Pundits debate the benefits and dangers of electric lighting, while others soundly vilify the "blue ruin" of gin. The Professions area catalogs now-uncommon jobs such as stay-stitcher, garret-master, mushroom hunter, and mudlark. Excellent background reading for Holmes fans.
