This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Richard Palmer, Better Known as Dick Turpin, the Notorious Highwayman and Robber: Including His Numerous Exploits, Adventures, and Hair-Breadth Escapes, Trial and Execution; With Notices of Many of His Contemporaries It is strange and melancholy to re ect how the death of an individual frequently changes the aspect of the affairs of all who surrounded him, and most of those who were his dependents. But few months elapsed from the death of Sir Mark, ere the amiable Madeline quitted the seat_of her ancestors to reside in a home more congenial to her taste and habits than that of which her brother had now become lord and master. Old Bevis too, scorning to remain under an obligation to one by whom he had been so deeply insulted, and more than suspecting, from his last conversation with Sir Mark, that underhand measures had been resorted to in order to defeat his kind intentions towards Madeline, his daughter, and himself, quitted the neighbourhood. Indeed the pleasant dwelling he had so long occupied he could no longer think of retaining on the terms on which he had held it of its former pro prietor; and having about this time received a small accession of property by the death of a relation be removed to a distant county.

Download or read book Dick Turpin written by J. A. Sharpe and published by Profile Books(GB). This book was released on 2005 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost everything people know about Dick Turpin and highwaymen is myth. The historical truth is much nastier, more brutal and bloody. As Dick Turpin went to the scaffold in York in 1739 he was determined to look his best. The previous day he had had a new frock coat and pumps delivered to him in the condemned man's cell in York Castle Prison. And he paid £3 and 10 shillings for five men to act as mourners. Who was this notorious highwayman and why did he become so famous? What did he do to become the subject of such extraordinary myths? Most of all, why are highwaymen romantic figures? We have highwayman now: we call them muggers and car-jackers and we don't sing ballads about them or eulogise them for their brave exploits. This is a masterly biography of one of Britain's best-known criminals - but it is also an examination of the cult of the highwayman, of crime in the 18th century and the treatment of criminals. In the absence of any police force how were crimes solved? Who did the detective work? And did the criminals get a fair trial - an important question if you were going to hang from the neck for a relatively minor misdemeanour. Was there a criminal underclass and did people really live in terror of going on the roads at night? Looking at the underbelly of society and the nastier aspects of life that many historians ignore, James Sharpe creates a vivid picture of life on the edges in 18th century Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the highwaymen has never been written, nor can it be. The chroniclers were slavishly faithful to their authorities—flatteringly so, in fact; for these authorities consisted of a lot of chapbooks, broadsheets, penny dreadfuls and twopenny bloods, “dying confessions” that had come in for a good deal of posthumous editing, and the contemporary gutter Press—which was even more unreliable then than it is today. Many of these ‘authorities’ were so contradictory that the truth-at-all-costs chroniclers left out some of the best bits of highway lore in their vain attempts to keep faithful to their ridiculous principles. Our own ambition is more modest. We have not sought the El Dorado of absolute truth. We have gone back to the same sources that the chroniclers used—and we have taken pains to ignore the latter gentlemen whenever contemporary reports are still extant. We have not moralized, like the chroniclers, nor have we embellished, like the novelists. We have added nothing—but we have taken away a good deal. We have tried to use our discretion in selection, and our judgment in discrimination between contradictory versions of the same events. Since it was impossible to be faithful to the letter, we have tried to recapture the spirit of the Age of Highwaymen.
