=Scotsman.=—“A most interesting account of the dodges adopted by various criminals in effecting their purposes. The reader will find much that is instructive within its pages.”
=Liverpool Review.=—“This is no fanciful production, but a clear, dispassionate revelation of the dodges of the professional criminal. Illustrated by numerous pen and ink sketches, Mr Power-Berrey’s excellent work is useful as well as interesting, for it will certainly not assist the common pilferer to have all his little tricks made public property in this lucid and easily rememberable style.”

The instructions are most interesting, and are lucidly expressed, physiological details are carefully, yet not redundantly, dwelt on, so that the intending student may have some very real and definite idea of what he is learning about, and many valuable hints may be gleaned from the chapters on ‘Articulation and Modulation.’ Not only for actors and orators will this little book be found of great service, but everyone may find pleasure and profit in reading it.”
