Morals, Manners and Miseries in Tenement Houses is a book written by John Laffan in 1887. The book is a detailed account of the living conditions of the working-class people who resided in tenement houses in New York City during the 19th century. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of life in the tenements, including the physical conditions of the buildings, the social and cultural norms of the residents, and the problems that arose as a result of overcrowding and poverty. Laffan provides a vivid and often disturbing description of the squalid living conditions in the tenements, including the lack of sanitation, the prevalence of disease, and the constant threat of fire. He also describes the social and cultural norms of the residents, including their customs, traditions, and beliefs. Throughout the book, Laffan highlights the plight of the working-class people who lived in the tenements, and he calls for reform to improve their living conditions. He argues that the government and society as a whole have a responsibility to address the problems faced by the residents of the tenements, and he suggests a number of solutions, including better housing, improved sanitation, and increased access to education and employment opportunities. Overall, Morals, Manners and Miseries in Tenement Houses is a powerful and insightful book that provides a valuable glimpse into the lives of working-class people in New York City during the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of urban poverty, housing, and social reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
