An unrecorded printing of the Newgate Calendar, a reprint of the edition with the editorship attributed to G. Thompson (first published 1840) - though Thompson's text is largely copied from Knapp and Baldwin's 1824 edition. The Library of Congress holds a copy with the imprint 'London: Walker & Co, Newcastle: Fordyce' dated 1840 - Fordyce may have printed the edition for Walker - but this is the only reference we have found to a copy with the involvement of the Fordyce's, and we have found none at all dated 1841.
