	Jack Sheppard
		Sheppard was tried at the Old Bailey and condemned to death, but, largely thanks to "Edgeworth Bess", he managed to escape from the condemned cell, and was soon back in his old haunts.
		In September he was rearrested and imprisoned in the strongest part of Newgate, being actually chained to the floor of his cell, but by a combination of strength and skill he escaped through the chimney to the roof of the prison, and lowered himself into the adjoining house.
		Sheppard has been made the unworthy hero of much romance, of which William Harrison Ainsworth's novel, Jack Sheppard (1839), is the most notable instance.

	Sheppard
		Although Sheppard even retained hopes of escaping after his execution (supposedly having planned for his friends to put him in a warm bed and open a vein to revive him), his more realistic ambition was to secure his posthumous glory by the immediate publication of the authentic account of his brief but spectacular criminal career.
		Written persuasively in Sheppard's own voice, it is the antithesis both of confessions in the "sincerely penitent" tradition and of those confessions that admit what cannot be denied whilst seeking to shift the burden of guilt, blaming malign circumstance, bad company or duplicitous companions.
		Another important element in Sheppard's popularity, apparent in passages such as this, is the extent to which his defiant voice is identified with the sentiments of the most ordinary, downtrodden Londoner.

		Epoch the Second, 1715, takes place over a few days in June and shows the adolescent Jack's fall from grace and into the clutches of the evil thief-taker and criminal mastermind, Jonathan Wild, while Thames rather foolishly falls into the clutches of his evil uncle, Sir Rowland Trenchard, who is Wild's silent partner.
		It opens with Jack at the height of his success as a criminal (and consequent depths of depravity), and the return of Thames, who escaped his uncle and fled to France where he became a prosperous merchant.
		Jack dies bravely on the gallows, Thames' birthright is established and he marries his childhood sweetheart, Winifred, his old master's daughter.

	Stories about Jack Sheppard
		Sheppard: Look you, Sir, I have been as excellent in my way, as you in yours, perhaps more so: and, as we are now in a place where glory is our best portion, I can see no reason why an equality in merit should not be a foundation for an equality in fame.
		Sheppard: I hate boasting; but I could write like thee an account of my life, it would not be credited, but it would be free from the censures that may be passed upon thine: men would find nothing in it undertaken through wantonness or ambition.
		Sheppard: Why, that you had courage is not to be disputed; but you must allow it to me also, and I think I have shewn it to a greater degree than you did.

		Sheppard; and, as soon as he could command his feelings, which were considerably excited by the mention of her distresses, Page 10he squeezed her hand warmly, bestowed a hearty execration upon his own inhumanity, and swore he would neither separate her from her child, nor suffer any one else to separate them.
		Sheppard found it; and, as no one opposed her, she at once took up her abode there; nor was she long in discovering that the dreaded sounds proceeded from the nocturnal gambols of a legion of rats.
		Sheppard, whose distress at the consumption of the provisions had been somewhat allayed by the anticipation of the intruder's departure after he had satisfied his appetite, was now terrified in the extreme by seeing a light approach, and hearing footsteps on the stairs.
