| THE NEWGATE CALENDAR 1 by George Theodore
Wilkinson
Being the great chronicles of crime and punishment in 18th Century England Through the pages of this remarkable work we follow the careers of some of the most notorious criminals of one England's most turbulent ages. We walk beside them through the vice dens of London, lay in wait with them along the dark roads and alleys, and stand before them as they breathe their last on the scaffolds of Tyburn and Execution Dock. Here are the exploits of the infamous rogues whose names have lived down the years, presented in a vivid, gripping volume. But be warned: this is not a book for those of delicate sensibilities. This abridgement published in 1962 by Panther Books
