Gwenda Morgan and Peter Rushton. Eighteenth-Century Criminal Transportation: The Formation of the Criminal Atlantic. New York: Palgrave Macmillan. 2004. Pp. xii, 238. $65.00.

This is the third and most recently published volume to emerge from Gwenda Morgan and Peter Rushton's wide-ranging and invaluable work on crime and punishment in northern England during the eighteenth century. Having surveyed the nature of crime, judicial administration, and penal practices in Newcastle, Durham, and Northumberland and then moved on to a close study (and published diary) of Edmund Tew, an industrious Durham magistrate of the 1750s, the authors have now turned their attention to deepening our knowledge and understanding of convict transportation, the most important and distinctive of serious English punishments during the early Georgian era.
