James Hardy Vaux's 1819 Dictionary of Criminal Slang - softcover

		(0 reviews)

In the early 1800s magistrates in the Australian colonies were often frustrated by the language used by re-offending convicts to disguise their criminal activities and intentions.

In 1819, convict clerk James Hardy Vaux came up with this dictionary of slang and other terms used by convicts, compiling effectively Australia's first published dictionary.
