Notes:

"The Declaration of Robinson, will be found very interesting to the American Public, as he therein confesses that in the year 1824, he spent some weeks in the city of New-York, where he attempted several robberies, and once but narrowly escaped the iron grasp of High Constable Hayes, and from thence, fled to Boston, where he was on the arrival of of Gen. Lafayette, and on which occasion, he confesses that he picked several pockets--and from thence followed the General in his tour of the east, as far as Salem, for a similar purpose."

"The horrid crime for which Robinson suffered was committed in presence of the unfortunate Catharine (a native of Pennsylvania) and through whose instrumentality the vile author of her wretchedness was brought to justice."

"Printed from the fifth English edition."

Letter written by Catharine Robinson to her mother on p. 29-30.
