Excerpt from Criminal Investigation; A Practical Handbook for Magistrates, Police Officers, and Lawyers: Translated and Adapted to Indian and Colonial Practice From the System Der Kriminalistik, of Dr. Hans Gross, Professor of Criminology in the University of Prag This Indian and Colonial edition, while omitting some portions of the original which would be of no use to the practical worker, for example, the slang words of Bohemian gipsies, thus contains much new and interesting matter, the better to adapt the book for India and the Colonies, and also to bring the last German edition of 1904 thoroughly up to date. These new passages, derived from the writings of specialists, the latest criminal intelligence, and the somewhat extensive experience of the adap tors as criminal lawyers, are interwoven with the text. For the specialist, desiring to pursue his studies further in any specific department, Appendixes I. And II. Are particularly intended. Appendix I. Contains the information which, in the German original and in many works of this description, is relegated to foot-notes. Experience teaches that in a volume designed as a popular handbook as well as a scientific guide, such foot-notes are embarrassing, breaking the general thread of the discourse and distracting the attention of the reader. Accordingly each authority, as and when mentioned in the text, is distinguished by a consecutive index figure, under which figure in Appendix I. The complete reference will be found. A few exceptions to this rule occur in the cases of important writers, whose names and the titles of whose works are given in full in the text. Appendix II. Is an alphabetical list of the authorities included in Appendix I. Or specially quoted in the text, with references to the various pages of the book on which each is mentioned. These two Appendixes combined will thus, it is hoped, be found by the student to constitute a complete working apparatus. The Index is a comprehensive Index to the whole work, with cross references, of which we shall only permit ourselves to say that we have endeavoured to make it as useful as every index should be.
