Description
The Rogues and Rogueries of New York. New York: J.C. Haney & Co, 1865. First edition. Publisher’s pictorial orange wraps printed in black. Illustrated. 118 pp. 12mo. Chipping and small losses to extremities and corners, pages dog-eared, spine worn, but sturdy; very good overall. A wide-ranging treatise on all manner of scams and cons, including bogus jewelry, fortune telling, marriage scams, pickpockets, safe cracking, thimble-rigging, highway robbery, quacks and medical humbug, fortune-telling, lotteries, and with a chapter devoted to “Gamblers and Their Victims.” Other curious cons outlined include “how to become invisible,” “moustache forcers,” and a “Spanish Consul in Want of Pants.”
