Note 20 — THE HISTORY OF CANT, OR THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF VAGABONDS.

This is a curious volume, and is worth from one to two guineas. The Canting Dictionary was afterwards reprinted, word for word, with the title of The Scoundrel’s Dictionary, in 1751. It was originally published, without date, about the year 1710, by B. E., under the title of A Dictionary of the Canting Crew. [20]
