Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Newgate Calendar, Improved, Vol. 2: Being Interesting Memoirs of Notorious Characters, Who Have Been Convicted of Offences, Against the Laws of England, During the Seventeenth Century, and Continued to the Present Time, Chronologically Arranged We have seldom heard of any more skilled in the various arts of imposition and robbery, than Mary Young. Her depredations, executed with undaunted courage, and artful deception, are surpassed by none which we have, as yet, met with. Mary Young was born in the north of Ireland; her parents were in indigent circumstances; and dying while she was in a state of infancy, she had no recollection of them. At about ten years of age she was taken into the family of an old gentlewoman, who had known her father and mother, and who caused her to be in structed in reading, writing, and needle-work; and in the latter she attained to a proficiency unusual to girls of her age. Soon alter she had arrived to her fifteenth year, a young man, servant to a gentleman who lived in the neighbourhood, made pretensions of love to her; but the old lady being apprized of his views, declared that she would not consent to their marriage, and positively forbad him to repeat his visits at her house.
