Everybody's Business Is Nobody's Business / Or, Private Abuses, Public Grievances; Exemplified in the Pride, Insolence, and Exorbitant Wages of Our Women, Servants, Footmen, &c.

The pamphlet presents a sustained civic complaint about domestic servants and street trades whose rising wages, fashionable pretensions, and casual mobility are blamed for petty theft, prostitution, and household impoverishment. It catalogs common abuses—collusion to inflate pay, cribbing of provisions, retail pilfering, and transient employment—and connects them to broader public disorder and the burden on pauper relief. Interspersing anecdotes and observations, the author advances concrete remedies: stricter enforcement of vagrancy laws, reorganized night watchmen, use of workhouses, and regulation or replacement of street shoe-cleaners with organized employment for the deserving poor.
