A Dictionary of Buckish Slang, University Wit and Pick Pocket Eloquence is a book written by Captain Francis Grose and originally published in 1811. The book is a comprehensive dictionary of slang words and phrases used by various groups of people in England during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The slang included in the book ranges from the language used by university students and scholars to the slang used by pickpockets and other criminals. The book also includes a section on the slang used by women of the time. The dictionary is organized alphabetically, with each entry providing a definition and examples of how the word or phrase is used. The book offers a unique glimpse into the language and culture of the time, making it a valuable resource for historians, linguists, and anyone interested in the history of English slang.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
