Two circumstances have been two <add>disastrous circumstances - have</add>
One circumstance was in a greater or less degree been common
to transportation in both systems of <add> transportation - punishment under both its forms: in point of comfort, the condition of
each Convict, under and during the punishment, was has been matter
of pure contingency: his chance and measure of while <add>while in point of morality, his reformation,
