Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Criminal Classes in the Bombay Presidency: With Appendices Regarding Some Foreign Criminals Who Occasionally Visit the Presidency Including Hints on the Detection of Counterfeit Coin
These Notes, kindly revised, while the proofs were going through the press, by Mr. R. B. Stewart, M. A., I. C. S., inspector-general of Police, Bombay Presidency, are an attempt to bring together and up to date in a practical form, such information as is available respecting the methods and distinctive characteristics of the Criminal Classes belonging to the Bombay Presidency and of certain foreign Criminal Tribes visiting it for the purposes of crime.
Ethnological and historical details, interesting though they no doubt are, have been avoided as being of no practical use to Police officers in the discharge of their duties in respect to the detection and prevention bf crime.
