The Bitter Cry Of Outcast London: An Inquiry Into The Condition Of The Abject Poor. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
Andrew Mearns, a late 19th-century social reformer and author, is best known for his pivotal work 'The Bitter Cry of Outcast London', an eye-opening exposé on the dire living conditions of the urban poor in London. Mearns, a clergyman with the Free Church of Scotland, directed his efforts towards highlighting the grave social injustices of his time. His 1883 pamphlet illuminated the squalid and overcrowded tenements of the London slums, stirring the public and policy-makers alike. The evocative detailing in 'The Bitter Cry' painted a vivid picture of the destitution and sparked an urgency for housing reforms, arguably resulting in the eventual development of social housing policies in the UK. Mearns's literary style is marked by his direct and impassioned prose, which not only captured the grim reality but also stirred a moral imperative to address the inhuman conditions endured by the marginalized communities. His work stands as a testament to Victorian investigative journalism and social advocacy, echoing the voices of those who were unheard in the corridors of power. Mearns's contribution to social reform through his writing has carved out a prominent place for him in the annals of social justice literature.
