In February 1820 Arthur Thistlewood and a band of radicals gathered in a loft in Cato Street, London, planning to kill the cabinet at dinner and seize the city. Published that same year, this account traces the rise and betrayal of the plot, the police raid, and gives the treason and murder trials at length, from Thistlewood’s to James Ings’s.
