James Greenwood (1832-1929) was a British social explorer, journalist and writer. In his The Seven Curses of London he shares stories about Neglected Children, Professional Thieves, Professional Beggars, Fallen Women, The Curse of Drunkenness, Betting Gamblers, and the Waste of Charity. The Daily Telegraph on July 6, 1874, published an article written by James Greenwood, in which he reported on June 24, 1874 to have witnessed a human-baiting. In 1876, Greenwood republished the article in his book Low-Life Deeps: An Account of the Strange Fish to Be Found There, in the chapter called In the Potteries. Amongst his other works are Unsentimental Journeys; or, Byways of the Modern Babylon (1867), The Seven Curses of London (1869), In Strange Company (1874), The Wilds of London (1874), Mysteries of Modern London (1883), Odd People in Odd Places; or, The Great Residuum (1883) and Toilers in London (1883).
