Griffiths (1838-1908) was a prison administrator and author who published over 60 books. As a military historian he wrote extensively about the wars of the 19th century, then later turned to accounts of crime and punishment.The success of the latter led in turn to a number of mystery crime novels. This title is part of his series on 'The Romance and History of Crime from the Earliest Times to the Present Day' and includes three illustrations.
