'A very-well-researched and readable book... a bit of a romp'-- Law Society Gazette; 'Will be popular with undergraduates as an introduction to the institutions of the criminal law and a source to quarry for stories for their essays. The general public, to whom it is directed, will find it more approachable than much of the scholarly writing on the subject.'-- The English Historical Review; 'Gregory Durston is to be congratulated on producing a monumental work on crime and justice in eighteenth century London... treasures are contained in its 668 pages'-- John Hostettler, Legal Historian and author.
