The Scoundrel's dictionary, or An explanation of the cant words used by the thieves, house-breakers, street-robbers and pick-pockets about town. To which is prefixed, some curious dissertations on the art of wheedling; and a collection of their flash songs, with a proper glossary. The whole printed from a copy taken on one of their gang, in the late scuffle between the watchmen and a party of them on clerkenwell-green; which copy is now in the custody of one of the constable of that parish.
