About This Item
W H Allen, London - first edition ISBN:0491016921 1975 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Sixteen reproductions of old b&w drawings, bibliography, and index. This is an account of famous crimes and trials, 'The Newgate Calendar' was first published in 1774 but drew on material as far back as the beginning of that century. Heppenstall devotes a chapter each to some of the major 'crimes', discussing their social implications and repercussions; his position is always that of the raconteur, rather than the moralist - but a well-documented and thoroughly reasearched one.
