PICTURES AND PROBLEMS FROM 
LONDON POLICE-COURTS. 
By THOMAS HOLMES. 
One wol., large crown 8v0., with Portrait, 10s. 6a. 
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.
