Panopticon versus N.S. Wales

Note 2

As to the quantum of expence, down to |^^^|. 1797
the total was brought to account was indeed short of eleven hundred thousand pounds: but
unless gentlemen choose to take credit, as for a service done
to his Majesty, for the number of his subjects they have
destroyd, to this eleven hundred thousand pounds should
be added several hundred upon a fair estimate, a hundred or two thousand more. To say exactly

I mention it only, (as Necker would say) pro memoriaa: since
to form a correct calculation would require morea mass of labour
and paper disproportionate to the purpose.

Note to p.1

Relinquishment but
hypothetical

(a) The "relinquishment" here in question was was categorical
hypothetical, and but hypothetical, in formthough but hitherto it has been categorical hitherto
in effect.

Other grounds are mentioned
afterwards

(b) The three other grounds are were 1. Lapse of time.
2. Encrease of terms i:e of public meaning thereby of public expence: (an encrease barely proposed, and not and studiously forborne to be
insisted on:) 3. improvements observed assumed to have been made in some of the existing Gaols of
these three grounds a transient recapitulatory further mention must be made may come to be given in the course of the present pages. under the concluding head
of Economy.

Note to p.3.

Supreme importance
of example.

Of all these ends, example, be it observed is beyond comparison
the most important: in the cause of reformation, an incapacitation
for further mischief, the conduct concerned is the pushes a qu as only to
comparatively few no more than the comparatively small number of individuals that who, having actually offended, have
moreover actually suffered for the offence. In the case of example,
the parties are as many individuals as are exposed to the temptation
of offending; that is, taking the of delinquency in the
aggregate, the whole number of individuals of which the several
political communities are composed,—in other words all mankind.
