Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Criminal Classes in the Bombay Presidency: With Appendices Regarding Some Foreign Criminals Who Occasionally Visit the Presidency Including Hints on the Detection of Counterfeit Coin These Notes, kindly revised, while the proofs were going through the press, by Mr. R. B. Stewart, M. A., I. C. S., Inspector-General of Police, Bombay Presidency, are an attempt to bring together and up to date in a practical form, such information as is available respecting the methods and distinctive characteristics of the Criminal Classes belonging to the Bombay Presidency and of certain foreign Criminal Tribes visiting it for the purposes of crime. Ethnological and historical details, interesting though they no doubt are, have been avoided as being of no practical use to Police officers in the discharge of their duties in respect to the detection and prevention of crime. To ensure accuracy and fulness of interesting and useful detail, Gazetteers, Police Records, Major Gunthorpe's Notes on Criminal Tribes, experienced Police Officers and reliable informers have been consulted and the information thus obtained sifted and subjected to verification. It may be conceded that no book on Criminal Classes can claim to be complete or final -but will need revision according to varying circumstances and conditions affecting the criminal fraternity and the changes in their methods of criminality brought about thereby. It is hoped therefore that officers interested in the subject will be kind enough to communicate, from time to time, suggestions for additions and alterations which further experience and changing circumstances may indicate as desirable. Necessary amendments after verification will then appear in revised editions of the work. The excellent illustrations interspersed throughout these Notes are the work of the Government Photo-zinco Department, Poona, from photographs taken by the Department or kindly supplied by Mr.D. Davies, Mr. H. M. Gibbs, Mr. Luck, Mr. Vincent, and Inspector H. R. Kothavala. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
