Smuggling Days And Smuggling Ways: Or The Story Of A Lost Art is a non-fiction book written by Henry Noel Shore and published in 1892. The book is a detailed account of the history of smuggling in England, from the medieval period to the 19th century. It explores the various methods used by smugglers to transport contraband goods, including the use of secret tunnels, false bottoms in carts and boats, and disguising goods as legitimate cargo. The book also describes the social and economic conditions that led to the rise of smuggling, including high taxes on imported goods and the demand for luxury items. It provides a fascinating insight into the lives of smugglers and their communities, including their code of conduct, their relationships with local people and authorities, and the risks they faced from the law and rival gangs. Written in a lively and engaging style, Smuggling Days And Smuggling Ways: Or The Story Of A Lost Art is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of English history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of smuggling, crime, and social history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
