Election Sketches: the paid canvasser, 1880. 'The modern type of "paid canvasser," who looks as if he might be a district visitor sent round by the parish clergy to ask subscriptions for the schools or the doles of soup and blankets, is far more decorous and respectable than election canvassers used to be'. From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
