23.5 x 15.5cms, 176pp, b/w illusts, fine paperback & cover (author's signature) Solomon was a successful receiver and escaped from Newgate Gaol. Fleeing to New York, he learnt that his wife and children had been transported to Van Diemen's Land. He followed them and was gaoled at Richmond and Port Arthur. Charles Dickens modelled Fagin on Solomon. THis book tries to correct Dickens's representation of the Jew.
