| Publisher Description: Quakers were involved with the Old Bailey court-house and the notorious Newgate Prison for over two hundred years. Their number included Quaker criminals, victims of injustice and prison reformers such as Elizabeth Fry. Drawing on The Newgate Calendar, The Proceedings of the Old Bailey and other sources, this book tells the true story of Quakers, crime, justice and reform from 1652 to 1851. |
