New. $39.95 * Monteleone, a police officer, compiled this often-cited collection of words and phrases used by the "gangster, tramp or hobo" over the course of a career in several American cities that spanned the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Both instructive and amusing, it contains hundreds of entries relating to criminal matters of the time, such as "Academy" (a jail), "Across the River" (dead), "Grease the Track" (to fall under a moving train), "Sprinkle the Flowers" (to distribute bribes), "Suey Bowel" (A Chinese opium den), "Write Short Stories" (to forge checks) and "Zib" (an easy victim).

An Exposition of Certaine Difficult and Obscure Wordes, and Termes of the Lawes of this Realme, Newly Set Foorth & Augmented, Both in French and English, for the Helpe of such Yonge Studentes as are Desirous to Attaine the Knowledge of the Same.

New. $49.95 * The first edition of Rastell's law dictionary precedes in point of time the publication of the first general English dictionary, and is the most important English dictionary before Cowell's controversial Interpreter (1607). Rastell [d.1536] was a successful lawyer and printer. He published his dictionary around 1523 with the title Expositiones Terminorum Legum Anglorum. (Later editions are titled Termes de la Ley or An Exposition of Certain Difficult and Obscure Words). Immediately successful, it went through at least twenty-nine editions, the last appearing in 1819. Hicks praised its value and described it as useful for its insights into the state of the common law at the close of the year-book period. This early edition is especially significant because it was printed by Richard Tottel [fl. 1553-1594]. Tottel was an important London printer who owned the patent for many common law books. 246. H.

A Compendious and Comprehensive Law Dictionary; Elucidating the Terms, and General Principles of Law and Equity. London: Gale and Fenner, 1816. Unpaginated [1022] pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With…a new introduction by Bryan A. Garner, President, Law Prose, Inc. and editor of Black's Law Dictionary. ISBN-13: 9781584776802; ISBN-10: 1584776803. Hardcover. New. $95. One of several English dictionaries published in the early nineteenth century, Williams's stands out for three reasons. Unlike its predecessors and, presumably, its competitors, this dictionary was designed as a practical everyday reference work. It has a smaller physical size, more entries and, for many of these, shorter definitions. * This dictionary marks an important stage toward the evolution of the modern law dictionary: it is half dictionary, half encyclopedia. (.) Williams may have been ahead of his time in producing a handy quarto edition of a law dictionary. Apart from various editions of Termes de la Ley, huge folios, such as those by Jacob and Cunningham, seem to have been the order of the day. It wasn't until precisely a century after Williams - with the publication of James A. Ballentine's Law Dictionary - that short, small law dictionaries gained popularity. In some sense, Williams's work might be considered a predecessor of today's pocket law dictionaries. --Bryan A. Garner, From the Introduction to this Edition Thomas Walter Williams [1763-1833] was a barrister of the Inner Temple. He didn't have much success as a pleader, so he established himself, with considerable success, as a legal writer. In addition to his dictionary, he wrote manuals for justices of the peace, compiled abridgments and digests and edited an edition of William Sheppard's Precedent of Precedents.
