511–17] As the volume is now fast drawing to a close, and a specific account has been furnished of almost every description of street-seller (with the exception of those who are the makers of the articles they vend), I purpose giving a more full and general history and classification than I have yet done of the feminine portion of the traders in the streets. The women engaged in street-sale are of all ages and of nearly all classes. They are, however, chiefly of two countries, England and Irelan...d. There are (comparatively) a few Jewesses, and a very few Scotchwomen and Welchwomen who are street-traders; and they are so, as it were, accidentally, from their connection, by marriage or otherwise, with male street-sellers. Of foreigners there are German broom-women, and a few Italians with musical instruments. The first broad and distinctive view of the female street-sellers, is regarding them nationally, that is to say, either English or Irish women – two classes separated by definite characteristics from each other.
