By 1891 there were twenty-three. Over the same period London's population more than doubled. In this companion volume to \"Victorian People and Victorian Things\", Lord Briggs focuses on the cities of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Melbourne (an example of a Victorian community overseas) and London, comparing and contrasting their social, political and topographical development. Full of illuminating detail, \"Victorian Cities\" presents a unique social, political and economic bird's-eye view of the past.\"\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     Victorian People: \"Looks at the people, ideas and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867.
