Excerpt from Captain Lightfoot, the Last of the New England Highwaymen: A Narrative of His Life and Adventures, With Some Account of the Notorious Captain Thunderbolt
The object which he had in V1ew, in desiring that his biography might be published, and which he always avowed to me with, apparently, the most sincere earnestness, was, that it might be an example and warning to others. He was sensible that his life had been justly forfeited. That if the promulgation of these memoirs would save, even one young man, from the commission of such crimes, or from meeting such an awful fate, he should consider it some slight atonement, for his numerous offences against the laws of God and man.
It was not until Friday, the 7th inst, the day previous to Martin's attempted escape, that I had completed the business of gathering from his own lips, the materials of his history. From that time I began to put it into a shape for the press. This will account for the delay in its publication, and will excuse the hasty and rough manner in which it is now presented.
