To close the scene of all his actions he Was brought from Newgate to the fatal tree; And there his life resigned, his race is run, And Tyburn ends what wickedness begun. If there be a haunted spot in London it must surely be a few square yards that lie a little west of the Marble Arch, for in the long course of some six centuries over fifty thousand felons, traitors and martyrs took there a last farewell of a world they were too bad or too good to live in. From remote antiquity, when the seditious were taken ad furcas Tyburnam, until that November day in 1783 when John Austin closed the long list, the gallows were kept ever busy, and during the first half of the eighteenth century, with which this book deals, every Newgate sessions sent thither its thieves, highwaymen and coiners by the score. There has been some discussion as to the exact site of Tyburn gallows, but there can be little doubt that the great permanent three-beamed erection—the Triple Tree—stood where now the Edgware Road joins Oxford Street and Bayswater Road. A triangular stone let into the roadway indicates the site of one of its uprights. In 1759 the sinister beams were pulled down, a moveable gibbet being brought in a cart when there was occasion to use it. The moveable gallows was in use until 1783, when the place of execution was transferred to Newgate; the beams of the old structure being sawn up and converted to a more genial use as stands for beer-butts in a neighbouring public-house. The original gallows probably consisted of two uprights with a cross-piece, but when Elizabeth's government felt that more adequate means must be provided to strengthen its subjects' faith and enforce the penal laws against Catholics, a new type of gibbet was sought. So in 1571 the triangular one was erected, with accommodation for eight such miscreants on each beam, or a grand total of twenty-four at a stringing. It was first used for the learned Dr. John Story, who, upon June 1st, "was drawn upon a hurdle from the Tower of London unto Tyburn, where was prepared for him a new pair of gallows made in triangular manner". There is rather a gruesome tale of how, when in pursuance of the sentence the executioner had cut him down and was "rifling among his bowels", the doctor arose and dealt him a shrewd blow on the head. Doctor Story was followed by a long line of priests, monks, laymen and others who died for their faith to the number of some three thousand. And the Triple Tree, the Three-Legged Mare, or Deadly Never-green, as the gallows were called with grim familiarity, flourished for another two hundred years.

First of all it was written during the Victorian era. They didn't use frivolous words. They wrote what they meant and they meant what they wrote. Second, this book is FREE. You get what you pay for. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because the criminals in Victorian times were for the most part, men and women who had nothing to lose. Except for "high society criminals" they committed crimes to survive, unlike most of today's criminals who are just plain evil. Trials and punishments were swift and often deadly. There was no room for error. You might want to remember they didn't have DNA testing, fingerprinting, and the internet... Go on, you know you want to read it.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. loved it By Deana Jones I just simply love these books and would recommend to anyone that is looking to keep their interest in a well written book
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Don't buy if you are OCD By E. B. Patterson On the other hand, what a long slogging read!!! This Kindle edition didn't have most of the illustrations listed but the most important thing to note about this book is it's length. Its HUGE and after awhile you get the idea of what punishments fit what crimes. You can stop reading after section one essentially its all the same after that.I have a bit of OCD and couldn't *not* read it all so let me save the rest of you! :)
