Letter 3

21 Decr 1802

14 years out ending with 1801, out of 393 of both sexes
242 only stated as being "found reclaimed".+ This which would give
of the others whole remainder were supposed to be unreclaimed, would give more
than 39 in the hundred backsliders. Five in the hundred
in 5 years is in one each year one: 39 in the 14 years is
in each one year almost three. "Found reclaimed" however are is the
word: words: and it is neither impossible nor in can scarcely be
supposed but that some may have been really reclaimed
without having been found to be so: thus were death or change
of place would might be alike productive of this effect.+ In
this English account the persevering indefatigable zeal which could not only institute
but keep up those on foot such troublesome a course of investigation, and
the candour that prompted the gave birth/occupied the laid the results before the public eye communication of the result,
are alike conspicuous. Of The What difference as between
the English disciple and the Philadelphian in respect of
the felicity of the result, may be ascribed it seems
no cause more probable upon the face of it can, it should seem, be assigned,
than the alternative of promiscuous association with
separation seclusion in the one case, contrasted with the unremitted
exertion made in the other case to keep inviolate such degree of separation
as the structure architecture of the prison, rendered practicable admitted of
unaided by the central-inspection principle, admitted of.

+ Want of agreement in
respect of the number
of years, taken from the
commensurability of the
two cases. The view
thus parallel then drawn
view comparative view
so accurate as it might
be: but to render it so
would require more words
than would be paid for
by the result result correction.
