Daniel Defoe 
Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders 
With the Author’s Preface, and an Introduction

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The gloomy sadness of Newgate we see, on the other hand, on the day when some of the criminals are to be executed. The next morning there was a sad scene indeed in the prison. The first thing I was saluted with in the morning was the tolling of the great bell at St. Sepulchre’s, which ushered in the day. As soon as it began to toll, a dismal groaning and crying was heard from the condemned hole, where there lay six poor souls, who were to be executed that day, some for one crime, some for another, and two for murder.
