Book excerpt: Reprints the original 1979 edition with a new bibliographic essay by Lane (social science, Haverford College), and a foreword by Johnson (history, U. of Texas). Much more than a morbid excursion through obituaries of the period 1839-1901, this book relates patterns of violence to specific developments in Philadelphia and elsewhere--e.g., industrialization and white monopolization of industrial opportunities.
