• Francis Galton and Fingerprints
• [[Galton published two major works about fingerprints. The cover of the first, Finger Prints, contained a full set of his own prints He also

published an important booklet on decipherment of blurred fingerprints:

1892 Finger Prints. Macmillan , London 1893 Decipherment of Blurred Finger Prints. Macmillan , London

	1894	Physical Index to 100 Persons Based on their Measures and Finger Prints	Privately printed

1895 Finger Print Directories. Macmillan , London

 Galton also published a great number of scholarly papers, popular articles,  letters and interviews on the subject of fingerprints.  This was 
 important groundwork, and prepared the way for the positive findings of the Parliamentary committee of 1894, which soon led to the acceptance 
 of fingerprint testimony in the courts, to identify recidivists, and later to their forensic use.
