Giving a Particular Account of All His Daring Robberies and Burglaries, Trial, Execution, Burial, &c. Glasgow: Printed for the Booksellers, [c. 1825]. 24 pp. 12mo. (5-3/4" x 4").

Negligible light soiling, light edgewear, border at head of title page affected by trimming. $250. * Turpin, a charismatic highwayman, was one of the "media sensations" of his day, especially after his execution for horse theft in 1739. He assumed legendary status after his death. Popular interest in his exploits continued into the nineteenth century, as we can see in this account published around 1825.
