This humorous manual, originally published in 1839, offers a satirical guide on becoming a successful swindler, complete with justifications for such behavior. Authored by the fictional Captain Barabbas Whitefeather and edited by John Jackdaw, both of which are pseudonyms for Douglas William Jerrold, the book provides a comedic take on deception. The reproduction includes an original advertisement from 1839 and is presented by Curious Publications, which humorously clarifies its non-endorsement of swindling.
