A General History of the Lives, Murders and Adventures of the Most Notorious Rogues

In the early 18th century Captain Charles Johnson met the British public’s appetite for tales of daring crimes with collections that profiled figures who were famed for their offences. Blending fact and fiction, the stories in this volume take in pickpockets, swindlers and murderers and include that of Jack Shepherd, who escaped from prison repeatedly, and a woman who posed as a German princess.
