It is difficult or impossible to catalogue all the various ways to earn a living, although many have tried different methods. About 5.25 million men were employed in Great Britian, plus about 1 million domestic servants, 200,000 professors and artists and 200,000 civil servants. In addition, there were 200,000 paupers, prisoners and lunatics. Wives accounted for 3.5 million persons, while there were 7.5 million children.
