About this book
A London workman's attempt to defend his reputation gives this 1761 pamphlet its urgency. Thomas Daniels recounts his relationship with Sarah Carridine, their marriage, and the household disputes that preceded her death. The opening places his account alongside a sworn declaration and an explanation of his trial at the Old Bailey. His purpose is explicit: to persuade the public to reconsider its judgment of him.
The narrative moves through lodgings, workshops, shops, and public houses, recording family objections, financial difficulties, and allegations of drinking and violence. These details reach the reader through Daniels's own account, prepared for print by an editor who explains the changes to its language. Readers interested in legal history and personal testimony can examine how a working man presents his character and assigns responsibility during a public controversy.
