Characterizations of various figures in English society are vividly portrayed in this collection, showcasing both their virtues and flaws. Edited by Douglas Jerrold, who contributed several chapters, the work features contributions from liberal and radical journalists who later wrote for Punch. While aiming to entertain, the authors also emphasize a "moral seriousness of purpose." Volume III specifically delves into the lives of the apothecary, fashionable physician, medical student, monthly nurse, and quack doctor, offering a rich tapestry of 19th-century English life.
