PICTURES AND PROBLEMS FROM 

 LONDON POLICE-COURTS. 



By THOMAS HOLMES. 



One vol., large crown Svo., with Portrait, lox. 6^. 



This is a very remarkable book. It is doubtful whether there is 

 another man in England who has combined Mr. Holmes's unique 

 opportunities for acquiring experience among the unfortunate people 

 dealt with at the London police-courts with his literary skill in narrating 

 their sad histories. Beginning life in an iron foundry in the Midlands, 

 Mr. Holmes first describes his early surroundings, and how he found 

 himself appointed to the interesting post in London which he still 

 holds. He then proceeds to unfold his gradual initiation into the 

 dangers and miseries that surround the victims of vice and crime, and 

 draws vivid and ghastly pictures of many remarkable cases that have 

 fallen within his personal observation. In spite of frequent disappoint- 

 ments, Mr. Holmes has never lost his faith in human nature, though it 

 has often been sorely shaken. In contact with the most inveterate 

 criminal or the hopeless profligate he has never forgotten that 'one 

 touch of nature makes the whole world kin,' and has gone about among 

 them, not as a preacher, a censor, or a reformer, but as a kindly friend 

 with a sympathetic word and a helping hand always stretched out.
