The popularity of these terms in American English is due, in part, to an obscure Boston lawyer who, perhaps as a lark, published a slim dictionary of criminal slang in 1908. Joesph M. Sullivan's limited published output plays an important role in American criminal slang. His terms and definitions are widely cited in dictionaries, scholarly papers, and the popular media. This book presents the contents of Sullivan's "Criminal Slang: A Dictionary of the Vernacular of the Under World" as first published by the Detective Pub. Co. in 1908. The original content been extensively annotated to include considerable new information Sullivan presented in two additional publications, as well as to clarify ambiguity in Sullivan's original texts. All of Sullivan's slang terms and definitions are, for the first time, presented here in a single authoritative, alphabetized listing. An introduction puts Sullivan's work into historical context, along with a bibliography of American criminal slang dictionaries and glossaries from 1859-1918. A series of original illustrations demonstrates Sullivan's skill in choosing words for his dictionary by charting the growth the growth for several of his terms from 1860 to the present.

Book excerpt: Originally published: New York: The Macmillan Company, 1950. xv, 804 pp. Reprint of the second edition. Thoroughly engrossing, A Dictionary of the Underworld offers definitions for such obscure terms and phrases as "witch-hazel man" (heroin addict), "eason" (to tell) and "budge a beak" (run away). "Once in about every generation a book is published which dominates its field. Such a book is Partridge's Dictionary of the Underworld, which is not only the first extensive work on the underworld to appear in the twentieth century, but also the largest in the English language. (...) It is truly a monumental work, so monumental that scholars may well be disturbed by its aura of substantiality, for it will undoubtedly be cited and quoted or years to come." --David W. Maurer, American Speech, Vol. 26, No. 1 (February 1951), 38. One of the great lexicographers of the twentieth century, ERIC PARTRIDGE [1894-1979] had a keen interest in slang and unconventional English. He wrote over forty books on the English language and compiled the Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, Shakespeare's Bawdy and A Dictionary of Catch Phrases. He also wrote novels under the pseudonym Corrie Denison.

Download or read book A Vocabulary of Criminal Slang With Some Examples of Common Usages written by Louis E. Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Vocabulary of Criminal Slang With Some Examples of Common Usages It is noticeably true that our average law officer or advocate is necessarily a specialist in one or perhaps a few, at most, of the many recognized branches of professional crime. The limitation is occasioned in part by prescribed capacity and in part by inexperience or unfamiliarity with criminals of all types and their methods. Efficiency in general correctional labor may undoubtedly be promoted by a fuller understanding of the linguistic acquirements of subjects to be dealt with in every day practice. It is hoped that the publication of this vocabulary of criminal terms will render material advantages to the conscientious workers in this large field. We are conscious of many errors of omission in the work and we request the co-operation of all who are interested in its utility. Only the essential and most pertinent or purely criminal vernacular usages have been selected from the mystical parlance of professional violators and their accomplices, for the reason that popular slang is so extensively comprehended as to make its publication of doubtful value as a new contribution to our literature. An analysis of the four hundred and thirty terms included in the vocabulary reveals the interesting fact that criminal idiom is largely an ingenious combination of epithet suggested by similitude and a perverted construction of essential and accidental attributes of things and powers to imply or express the things and actions themselves. An occult jargon on its face, yet systematic enough when the key is acquired. Some of the terms seem to have been derived by simple partition of legitimate English words, occasionally with the addition of euphonious prefix or suffix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baltimore, 1910. Dr. Sarah Kennecott does not believe in ghosts. But when her dead sister appears in a dream and correctly forecasts a murder, Sarah must find the killer. At the center of the mystery is a spiritual medium with hidden motives and a stunning secret. Haunted memories of an army massacre overseas push Jack Hardin near emotional collapse. The medium draws him in with a promise to contact his ghosts during a séance, an event that turns deadly. The case tests their detective partnership as Sarah and Jack move from seedy saloons, to high society parlors, to confrontations with what might—or might not—be the supernatural. Everything, including their relationship and their lives, hinges on thwarting a killer who is deceptive, clever, and brutal.
