Sinks of London laid open: a pocket companion for the uninitiated, to which is added a modern flash dictionary containing all the cant words, slang terms, and flash phrases ... embellished with humorous illustrations by George Cruikshank

London: J. Duncombe, 1848. 12mo, pp. 131, [1]; folding color lithograph frontis, a number of small wodcut illustrations in the text; very good in publisher's quarter green morocco over marbled boards; spine faded and slightly rubbed, else very good. Originally published in 1822, this reprint edition does not do justice to the Cruikshank illustrations. The 35-p. canting dictionary is at the back. Item #44393
