Summary "The Chronicles of Crime; or, The New Newgate Calendar" by Camden Pelham is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume presents a series of memoirs and anecdotes detailing notorious criminals who have broken the laws of Great Britain up until 1841, encompassing a range of offenses from murder to forgery and piracy. The book showcases various criminals and their crimes, providing insight into the darker aspects of society during this period. The opening of the work introduces the reader to a collection of case studies, highlighting the gruesome realities of crime and punishment in early 19th-century Britain. It begins with the accounts of several individuals convicted of serious crimes, such as coining and conspiracy. For example, the event surrounding the 1816 trial of Thomas Brock and others reveals the corruption within the police system, where informants would entrap innocents to profit from convictions. This narrative approach sets a somber tone, making it clear that the volume aims to explore complex moral questions related to justice, legality, and the human condition in the context of crime.
