Here it is that your Memorialist has the mortification,
or the satisfaction shall he say, to be obliged
to differ with them. The instances of new 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 damnum sine injuriâ: but no damage
ever 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 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, & 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 is it not by a slight degree of
expence that such his endeavours would be stopped. Imputing
