A dictionary of modern slang, cant, and vulgar words, used at the present day in the streets of London; the universities of Oxford and Cambridge; the houses of Parliament: the dens of St. Giles; and the palaces of St. James. Preceded by a history of cant and vulgar language; with glossaries of two secret languages, spoken by the wandering tribes of London, the costermongers, and the patterers. By London antiquary. Second edition, revised, with thousand additional words. This book, "A dictionary of modern slang, cant, and vulgar words", by John Camden Hotten, is a replication of a book originally published before 1860. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
