To which is added, a correct list of all the capital convictions at the Old Bailey, &c. since the commencement of the present century, which will be of the highest use to refer to on many occasions. The whole tending, by a general display of the progress and consequence of vice, to impress on the mind proper ideas of the happiness resulting from a life of strict honor and integrity, and to convince individuals of the superior excellence of those laws framed for the protection of their lives and properties."
