Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This is a vocabulary of criminal terms in use in the early 1900s in the United States, compiled by the Portland police. It contains over 450 terms used by criminals, beggars, pickpockets, burglars, short-change artists, prostitutes, gamblers, yeggs, and confidence men, who constituted the criminal population at the time. The author provides examples of how each word was used, explaining some of the more obscure terms, and discussing their origins. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the criminal underworld of a bygone era and will be of interest to anyone interested in criminal history and slang. It also sheds light on the methods used by criminals to communicate with each other without being understood by outsiders, providing insights into their behavior and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330047316_0
