Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. Book Large quarto, hardcover, VG in good white pictorial dj with 4 hard-core criminals pictured on cover (one a woman). 433 pp. with index. Reprint of the original 1886 publication. VG in dusty white dust-jacket, not price-clipped. Book itself bound in yellow cloth with little wear to spine joint, but still firmly bound. Internally very clean. Compiled when Byrnes was in service with the New York police. A superb rogues gallery with over 400 leading offenders of the time, an outline of their crimes and portraits of the criminals. Byrnes used his contacts with criminals to build a network of informants and claimed the New York Detective Bureau had obtained more convictions than Scotland Yard, Paris and New Jersey put together, resulting in some 10, 000 years of sentences. This excellent reference work was far ahead of its time and also contains a List of Prisons, Penitentiaries and Reformatories in the United States, plus a full Index.
