The Arrest of Jack the Ripper: Or, How I Became a Detective
By an Ex-Police Officer
Published: April 1892

Found this item in the Bodleian Library, and was surprised not to see it in any of the usual Ripper bibliographies. Its a fiction, to be sure, about 16 pages in length.

I've got the full-text and will make it available to any interested parties via email - the Bodleian is finnicky about copyright so I don't want to publish it on the Casebook proper until I've got the necessary permissions.

Hi Stephen,
I'm writing a doctoral dissertation on late-Victorian Ripper pulp, and I'd love to get my hands on the full-text of this, if possible. I've not seen it before.
Hope you get this message!
Thanks.
