"The street-sellers are to be seen in the greatest numbers at the London street-markets on a Saturday night....after pay-time on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, the crowd in the New-cut, and the Brill in particular, is almost impassable. Indeed, the scene in these parts has more of the character of a fair than a market."
