[Anonymous] Extracts from Vol. II, The Cornhill Magazine, 1860 - Thieves and Thieving [Together with] the Criminal Law and the Detection of Crime

London, Cornhill Magazine, 1860. 1st printing. Wraps. 8vo. Comprising pp. 326 to 344 ('Thieves') and pp. 697 to 708 ('Criminal Law'). Some pages a bit rippled and age-toned, else in good+ condition. Sold as a lot of two, only. The anonymous author of the 'Thieves and Thieving' article claims to be a clergyman who, for two years, went among the thieves in one of the largest towns in England. He had 'no official purpose, with no literary design, going amongst them as their accepted friend, visiting their sick, and sometimes kneeling by the bedside of the dying thief'. His purpose in writing this article 'is to put before the public such points as may be of use in the understanding and mitigation of crime'. The other article, 'The Criminal Law and the Detection of Crime', also written anonymously, is somewhat more technical, and factual. The author discusses the system then existing in England (1860) for the detection and prosecution of crime, the procedure for which differs somewhat remarkably from that which exists today. .
