Prisons are not rare: and it will be difficult, he
believes, to find a single one, in which any such
effect has been produced by such a cause. The
damage, if there were any, would be dammum
sine injuriâ: but no damage evem, can he see:
so far from it, instead of damage he sees
advantage; and in this opinion, as will be seen
presently, he does not stand alone. The difference,
wide as it is, may be tolerably well accounted
for, even without taking into the account the difference
in the affections, through the medium of which
it may be viewed. The nature of his intended
Establishment being fully known to himself, and
altogether unknown to those Gentlemen, it is the
less wonder, if from such difference in point of
data, a difference of conclusion should
arise.
Another thing he knows is, that it
would be a real affliction to him, to
find these his Expectations disfulfilled by
the event, in any single instance: that
to save himself from such a mortification
no endeavours would be wanting on his part
and that it is not by a slight degree of expence
that such his Endeavours would be stopped.
