It appeared to me that to criminals and to expose the draw a knot of such associates in crime as really horror and in violence hidden in did exist; to paint in them all their deformity, underneathin the narrow and dirtyof all their wretchedness, all the squalid misery streets in they London. their lives; to show them as really were, for ever skulking uneasily through the dirtiest paths of life, with the great black ghastly gallows closing up their prospect, turn them where they might; it appeared to me that to do this, would be to attempt a something which was needed, at which would be a service to society.
