Probably incomplete. The title is subscribed ‘J. G.’ and the name Joseph Grosset appears on p. 4. The text refers to the Order of the Rosy Cross, the mystical word ΑΒΡΑΣΑΧ (Abrasach), the ideas of Isaac Hollandus, and other terms of esoteric philosophy. There is no writing on pp. 3a and 3b, which were probably missed out by mistake.

Print of Thomas Horner and his accomplices in the house of Daniel Clewen

Crewe MS/45/f. 2
Deel
[1795]

Part of Crewe Manuscripts

No caption. Removed from a copy of the fifth volume of Jackson’s New and Complete Newgate Calendar (1795), where this illustration faces p. 278 and is captioned ‘John Hartley, James Deane, and their accomplices in the House of Mr Clewin, at Finchley, where they committed a Burglary’. The names of the criminals in the caption are wrong, this burglary having been confused with one committed by James Bean (sic), John Hartley, and Lambert Smith, an account of which appears on pp. 305–7 of the same volume.
