“Interesting and curious. Contains as many as it was possible to collect of all the words and phrases of modern slang in use at the present time.”—Public Opinion.
“In every way a great improvement on the edition of 1864. Its uses as a dictionary of the very vulgar tongue do not require to be explained.”—Notes and Queries.
“Compiled with most exacting care, and based on the best authorities.”—Standard.
“In ‘The Slang Dictionary’ we have not only a book that reflects credit upon the philologist; it is also a volume that will repay, at any time, a dip into its humorous pages.”—Figaro.
