Or Scenes in its Darkest Places by T. B. M. (1891)
PREFACE
These sketches were first printed in the Weekly Scotsman, and strongly excited the attention of the Public. So many suggestions to publish them in book form were made to me, that I now do so in the hope that their publication may be of some little use to those who are striving to solve the great problem of the age.
Some of these stories make tough reading but serves to show the kind of problems that the poor had in Edinburgh at the end of the 19th century.
