Last week I was browsing through the history section of my library, not really looking for any books in particular, when I came across Victorian England Aspects of English and Imperial History 1837-1901 by L.C.B. Seaman. So of course I checked it out and ran home with it. It turns out that Chapter 3, Disease and Drudgery, is the most interesting.
