Counterfeit Nobles Warn of Fraud and Danger in New York
A 19th century column warns of fake nobles presuming titles to swindle women and families in New York. It recounts Inspector Brack, the Metropolis police, exposing Count X- and other impostors, and notes how consignments of noble pretenders prey on cognates of Burke's and Debrett's. It also covers common tricks, judgments on the era's fascination with titles, and a statistical aside on human physiology.
