Description: The title of this fascinating book is captioned 'A history of England's most notorious gaol ('jail'), its famous criminals, and their infamous crimes, and of the tortures, executions and punishments practiced there.' A great book for anyone interested in the bad old days in London, late 18th and 19th century crime and criminals, social history of that era, criminal justice. There's a lot here that's not for the faint-hearted, especially a few of the more than thirty illustrations. Lastly, this is version encompasses both volumes of the 1884 original. Hardcover, 596 pages. EXCELLENT condition overall. True fact: When you buy from Grimalkin Books, you're also helping to provide The Looney Toon Brothers (shown in the last photo) with food, toys, and cat litter. Thanks for stopping by!
