To facilitate the comparison, I will beg leave to submit
to your Lordship a Table, in which the points of resemblance
and contrast between the three systems, under some of the
principal heads, are set down, side by side.

I. Penitentiary
System

1. Drunkenness, none.

2. Association with one
another, select: with
strangers, none.

3. To health, supremely
favourable: by sobriety,
cleanliness,
and constancy of occupation;
by mixture
of light with
heavy, indoor with
outdoor, work.

4. To comfort, for the
same reasons as to
health, eminently favourable;
as also by
security against uneasiness
from quarrels end oppresions:
saving always the
salutary discomfort
resulting from the
necessary discipline.

5. To reformation eminently
favourable,

II. Hulk System

1. Drunkenness, none.

2. Association — with
one another, promiscuous:

3. To health, unfavourable
by drunkenness.
To vitality,
favourable nothwithstanding,
by the salubrity
of the climate:
setting aside
experienced frequency,
and perpetual
probrbility of famine
on the spot, and pestilence
during the
passage.

4. To comfort supremely
unfavourable; —
by the universal insecurity
in respect of
property; as well as
in respect of uneasiness
from quarrels
and oppressions.

5. To reformation supremely
unfavourable,
by reason of the
