”Alley-apple, cheese-screamer, cunny-warren, goose and duck, peter man and zook are just a few of the thousands of intriguing terms to be found in this astonishing collection. The eminent philologist Eric Partridge here turns his eye and his wit on that mysterious area defined as ’cant’. Partridge describes it as ’the vocabularies of crooks, criminals, racketeers, beggars, tramps, convicts, the commercial underworld, the drug traffic, the white slave traffic, and spivs’, gathered from many countries and from many obscure and esoteric sources. This exotic compilation may be used both for inside information and to browse through for its mind-boggling and often hilarious revelations from a world few explore at first hand.”
