"Full of interesting detail and most readable." John Lovell, Economic History Review
"A lively account, with a great deal of vivid description and quotation." Henry Pelling, Journal of Economic History
"He writes briskly, compresses skilfully, has a keen instinct for appropriate quotations, and moves with confidence over a number of different aspects of working-class life during the second half of the nineteenth century." Peter Keating, Times Literary Supplement
"A mine from which the reader can dig many nuggets of suggestive, sometimes startling information…Altogether a most serviceable enterprise." Martin Fagg, Times Educational Supplement
