Folio (13-3/4 x 9 inches). First edition (with the catchword "As" on the first page of the introduction). Originally published in seventy-two weekly twopenny numbers, the work was a compendium of Alexander Smith's History of the Lives of the Most Noted Highwaymen (1714) and Johnson's own A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most Notorious Pyrates (1724). Johnson is almost certainly a pseudonym. In the middle twentieth century the work was attributed to Daniel Defoe but this theory no longer has any currency. Includes accounts of Edward Teach (Blackbeard), the female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny, Jack Shepherd, Henry Morgan, and Jonathan Wild. The illustrations, largely engraved by Isaac Basire after Nicholls, have a robust Hogarthian vigor and a number exemplify the archetypal perception of the highwayman holding up a stage coach at gunboat.
