Hayward is a historical account written in the early 18th century. The work documents the lives of various criminals who faced execution for serious offenses such as murder, theft, and coining. The narrative not only presents their grim fates but also reflects on the social conditions and moral lessons intended to deter readers from a life of crime. The opening of this work sets the tone for a deep exploration of crime and punishment in early modern England, particularly focusing on the notorious site of Tyburn where many were executed. It recounts the traditions surrounding public executions, the attitudes of onlookers, and the brutal realities faced by the condemned, chronicling their final moments and the societal implications of their crimes. Noteworthy figures introduced include Jane Griffin, who was executed for the murder of her maid, and John Trippuck, a highwayman. Each narrative delves into the circumstances leading to their downfall, bringing a mix of tragedy and moral caution that highlights the often turbulent intersection of personal choices and stringent laws in a bygone era.
