The history of Sawney Beane and his family, robbers and murderers, who took up their abode in a cave near to the sea-side, where they lived twenty-five years without so much as once going to visit any City, Town, or Village. How they robbed above one thousand persons, and murdered and eat all whom they robbed. How at last they were happily discovered by a Pack of Blood-Hounds, and how Sawney Beane, his Wife, Eight Sons, Six Daughters, Eighteen Grand-Sons, and Fourteen Grand-Daughters, were all seized and executed, by being cast alive into three Fires, and there burnt to Death.
