Simes discovered this glossary in 1989 among the papers of the Australian novelist Kylie Tennant at the National Library of Australia.
A valuable feature of this book is Simes's lengthy introduction devoted to “The Literature of Crime” and “The Language and Lexicography of Crime.”
The second part is Simes's lexicographical commentary on the material provided by Hartley and Thirty-five, often giving information about the origin of the term, whether it is Australian, whether it is otherwise unrecorded, and so on.
Thirty-five wrote a Preface to The Argot (included by Simes as an appendix), and he makes some interesting observations about the kind of material he collected.
Simes gives a full account of these glossaries, and then turns to the development of dictionaries of underworld slang from the 17th century to the present.
