The foregoing tables are published with the hope that, now, or at some future time, this volume may find its way into Scotland': and that these tables may be there completed by some peaceful disciple of christianity, who is not unmindful of the words of their own sweet poet, "Think, for a moment, on his wretched fate, Whom friends and fortune quite disown!" The annexed tables of the convictions and executions in London and Middlesex, from January, 1731, to December, 1740, are published as specimens of tables from 1731 to 1810, which are preparing for publication, and are intended to be published during the course of the next year. |
