Dr Johnson's London by Liza Picard
A book which tells you all you could ever want to know about everyday life in London during the period 1740-1770. For example, false teeth could be made from wood, mother of pearl or ivory and urine was recommended for cleaning teeth. 9,000 babies died in 1751 from being given gin to drink and you could not be arrested on a Sunday.
