About This Item
A modern rebind in attractive quarter leather and marbled boards Slight wear on spine ends
Penlez was involved in a drunken riot, starting in a brothel where he stole sheets and for this crime he was hanged In this pamphlet, issued a month after the event, Fielding argues that he was justly executed
Henry Fielding (1707-1754) was an English novelist, irony writer and dramatist known for earthy humour and satire His comic novel Tom Jones is still widely appreciated He and Samuel Richardson are seen as founders of the traditional English novel He also holds a place in the history of law enforcement, having used his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London's first intermittently funded, full-time police force
