Harvard puts 18th-19th century British true crime texts online

Harvard has put online its large collection of 18th and 19th century British true crime stories known as broadsides.
"[B]roadsides -- styled at the time as "Last Dying Speeches" or "Bloody Murders" -- were sold to the audiences that gathered to witness public executions in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain. These ephemeral publications were intended for the middle or lower classes, and most sold for a penny or less. Published in British towns and cities by printers who specialized in this type of street literature, a typical example features an illustration (usually of the criminal, the crime scene, or the execution); an account of the crime and (sometimes) the trial; and the purported confession of the criminal, often cautioning the reader in doggerel verse to avoid the fate awaiting the perpetrator."
You can search by crime  including body snatching (as with this example from the collection--"burking" refers to the infamous body snatcher William Burke of Burke and Hare) and bigamy (via PhiloBiblos) (Image of Hogarth print of execution with woman selling broadsides:  Harvard)

The texts make gruesomely fascinating reading.
