The London Spy country gentleman visiting London, his native-Londoner chaperone-cum-guide, and the adventures that befall them. They travel about London, visiting various inns and tourist attractions, and meeting the people who lived there. The work gives vivid depictions of the lower classes of the day and how they made ends meet – including prostitution, robbery, burglary and other felonious activities. It is a ribald story, written in part in prose, and contains many slang expressions used at that time. "The London Spy" by Ned Ward. Edited by Kenneth Fenwick (1955). The Folio Society: London.
