In London Labour and the London Poor edition:
Phase 1
Of the Street Sellers of Live Birds. (Volume 2): "They travelled the whole way on foot, carrying the birds in cages on their backs, until they reached whatever port in France or the Netherlands (as Belgium then was) they might be bound for."
The Doll’s-Eye Maker. (Volume 3): "There are a number of eyes come over from France, but these are generally what we call misfits; they are sold cheap, and seldom match the other eye. Again, from not fitting tight over the ball like those that are made expressly for the person, they seldom move ‘consentaneously,’ as it is termed, with the natural eye, and have therefore a very unpleasant and fixed stare, worse almost than the defective eye itself."
London Considered as a Great World. (The Great World of London): "The remark, however, like most French mots, is more sparkling than lucid; for, if the term "province" be used - and so it often is by the inconsiderate - as if it were synonymous with the Anglo-Saxon "shire," then assuredly there is no county in England nor "departement" in France, which, in the extent of its population, is comparable to the British Metropolis."
