London, Heinemann, (1964). Cloth, cover edges sl. flecked else fine in sl. stained d/w, illust., pp. lxxxii, 315. "James Hardy Vaux was a quick-witted and notorious pickpocket and swindler who flourished in the early nineteenth century, and who was transported to Australia on three different occasions. Whether free or in captivity, he contrived to lead a remarkably full life, and in 1819, while serving a life sentence in New South Wales, he published his Memoirs and Vocabulary of the Flash Language in London. His vivid descriptons of the London underworld and his life in the penal settlement under Governors King and Macquarie make fascinating reading" (d/w blurb).
