Summary: "Toronto by Gaslight: The Night Hawks of a Great City" by Toronto News is a collection of sketches written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the nocturnal side of urban life in Toronto, chronicling the experiences of various night dwellers, including reporters, bakers, and others who toil when the rest of the city sleeps. The sketches explore themes of vice, poverty, and the hidden dynamics of a bustling city after dark. The opening of the work sets the scene for life in Toronto at night, describing a city transitioning from the bustle of everyday activities to the quietude of the late hours when night shift workers begin their toil. It introduces the various types of "night hawks," including policemen, newspaper employees, and bakers, highlighting the contrast between the workers who keep the city functioning and the darker elements that emerge in the shadows. This juxtaposition frames a vivid exploration of the social fabric of Toronto during nighttime, setting up a compelling narrative for the sketches to follow.
