A dictionary of modern slang, cant, and vulgar words, used at the present day in the streets of London; the universities of Oxford and Cambridge; the houses of Parliament: the dens of St. Giles; and the palaces of St. James. Preceded by a history of cant and vulgar language; with glossaries of two secret languages, spoken by the wandering tribes of London, the costermongers, and the patterers
Hotten, John Camden, 1832-1873
