"Lives of the Criminals" was originally published in three volumes
and sold by John Osborn on Paternoster Row. The volumes recount the
lives, crimes and executions of 18th century lawbreakers. By
"[setting] forth the entertainments of vice in their proper
colours", the volumes were intended to provide a moral banister and
reminder that, far from treading a glamorous road of pleasure, the
path taken by a criminal was in fact a highway to the gallows. The
original prefaces to the books, and the tales themselves, also
provide insights into the history of Crown Law at the time, the
grounds on which it was founded, the methods by which it
prosecuted, and the judgements inflicted on criminals accordingly.
This is a reprint of Arthur L. Hayward's 1927 reissue of the three
volumes in one.
