In the month of July, 1842, as I was passing the site of the Royal Exchange, then in course of re-erection after being burnt down, my attention was caught by one of the very numerous bills with which the boards, at the time surrounding it, were covered: It ran thus — ‘Susan Hopley, or the Life of a Maid Servant.’ This book, I thought to myself, must be a novelty; for although female servants form a large class of Her Majesty’s subjects, I have seen but little of them, or their affairs in print: sometimes indeed, a few stray delinquents, from their vast numbers, find their way into the police reports of the newspapers; and in penny tracts, now and then, a ‘Mary Smith,’ or ‘Susan Jones’, is introduced, in the last stages of consumption, or some other lingering disease, of which they die, in a heavenly frame of mind, and are duly interred. 1
