Visiting the Underworld of Georgian London but not sure how to blend in?

Can't tell a clapperdogeon from a running smobbler?

Wouldn't recognise the upright man if he noped your costard with his filchman?

You need this book.

This fascinating guide will teach you all you need to know about the vocabulary of the Rogues of Georgian London and how to function in society at the lowest level.

Along the way you will acquire some much-needed information and advice on how to make false dice; how to pick pockets; how best to rob a man on a horse; and where to find a good cup of coffee at 3:00am in the morning.

An invaluable resource for any gentleman.
