âEighteenth Century Waifsâ by John Ashton offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of abandoned and impoverished children in 18th-century London. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Ashton brings to light the harsh realities faced by these vulnerable members of society. The book explores the social conditions, institutions, and individual stories that shaped the experiences of waifs and orphans during this period. A valuable resource for social historians and anyone interested in the lives of the less fortunate in Georgian England.
