Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century text provides insights into the criminal underbelly of Regency London as seen through the eyes of a retired thief, informing readers of the techniques and perils of the city's criminal gangs. The author remains anonymous, claiming experience and an intimate knowledge of the criminal underworld of the time. Arranged thematically, the book first covers outdoor delinquencies and infamous highwaymen, followed by common indoor tricks such as gambling, card-sharping, and confidence scams. The author then gives guidance on how to navigate the streets safely and avoid falling victim to pickpockets, footpads, and hustlers. Other chapters deal with counterfeiting, smuggling, and various other swindles and schemes employed by the criminal classes. This book offers a unique perspective on the criminal world of Regency London, providing insights into how lawlessness flourished amidst the social and economic upheaval of the time.
