LOUISE REIGNIE: The Communion of Crime and Criminals.

Hardback. A truthful reproduction of the author's life written as a novel but based on absolute and reliable facts. The people who feature are personally known to him. He claims 'a certain acquaintanceship with all classes of society, good, bad and indifferent...His days and nights have been spent with them...He has encountered them in strange, ungodly places, foul and blasphemous - the jail, the workhouse, and the scaffold.' A fascinating memoir. Illus. by Justus(?) Hill. Pictorial pink cloth covers, blocked and lettered in either navy blue or black (I'm not sure which), sl. sunned sp. with gilt lettering, lightly foxed and browned eps. Nr. vg+
