520 _a"Anecdotes of the Manners and Customs of London during the Eighteenth Century" by James Peller Malcolm is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of various aspects of London life, including charity, societal behavior, and the overall state of society during the 1700s. Through anecdotes and observations, Malcolm aims to illustrate the culture and humanity of London’s inhabitants throughout the century. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the charity systems in London, focusing particularly on the plight of parish children between 1700 and 1800. Malcolm discusses the various charitable institutions and provides detailed accounts of their operations, including how they dealt with the vulnerable or the impoverished. He commences with a report highlighting the dire conditions faced by orphaned or abandoned children while acknowledging significant figures like Captain Coram, who played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. Through these anecdotes, the reader is introduced to the complexities of social care in London and the historical context that shaped the city’s charitable undertakings.
