- An Appendix To His Account Of The Trial (1824)
173,95 - 328,95 kr. Recollections of John Thurtell is a book written by Pierce Egan that provides an account of the life and crimes of John Thurtell, a man who was executed for murdering W. Weare in Hertford on Friday, January 9, 1824. The book serves as an appendix to Thurtell's account of the trial, offering additional insights into the events leading up to the murder and the subsequent trial. Egan's book is based on interviews with Thurtell, as well as other sources, and provides a detailed look at the life of a notorious criminal in early 19th-century England. The book offers a glimpse into the criminal underworld of the time, as well as the legal system and the attitudes towards crime and punishment. It is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a dark period in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

640,95 kr. Pierce Egan (1772-1849) was born near London and lived in the area his whole life. He was a famous sports reporter and writer on popular culture. His first book, Boxiana, was a collection of articles about boxing. It was a huge success and established Egan's reputation for wit and sporting knowledge. He is probably best remembered today as the creator of Corinthian Tom and Jerry Hawthorn ('Tom and Jerry'). Published in 1821 and beautifully illustrated by the Cruikshank brothers, this book is the original collection of Tom and Jerry's riotous adventures through Regency London. Its satirical humour and trademark use of current slang made it an overnight success, spawning many imitators and appearing in numerous editions. It was translated into French and inspired a number of successful stage plays that delighted audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. More recently, in 2006, an adaptation appeared on BBC Radio.
