Summary "The Chronicles of Crime; or, The New Newgate Calendar" by Camden Pelham is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work aggregates detailed memoirs and anecdotes of notorious criminals who have violated the laws of Great Britain, covering a wide range of offenses from murder to piracy. This collection serves both as a grim reflection on the consequences of crime and a commentary on social morality. At the start of the text, the author introduces the overarching theme of crime and punishment through a series of narratives focused on infamous characters from British history. The opening portion presents the case of Thomas Hunter, a clergyman executed for the gruesome murder of his two pupils, which sets a dramatic tone for the accounts to follow. It outlines Hunter's descent from a respected teacher to a figure of infamy motivated by revenge against the children who discovered his illicit affair. The narrative warns of the dangers of temptation and the inevitable repercussions of guilt, establishing a moral framework that is to be explored throughout the volume.
