Bloody Scotland: Crime in 19th Century Scotland by Malcolm ArchibaldMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A somewhat superficial look at crime in Scotland in the 19th century. Anecdotal in structure and style and not particularly well-written. Did give me the etymology of the word "navvy" (from "railway navigators," in turn from "inland navigators," being the men who dug canals).
