Panopticon Observations on Holford's Report

3. One argument In answer to the admitted respectability
of Mr Benthams character an argument employed is –
that they have the not only he but his Brother
after him have the power of consigning the establishment to other hands. He consents let his Brother have
return the stipulated Survivorship but upon the condition
of his consenting to keep himself themselves respectively
subject to the full responsibility of the situation for the remainder
of their respective lives.

Mr Bentham's Brother, General Bentham, one
of the Commissioners of his Majesty may surely be stated
as being to every such purpose preferable to any as yet
untried man. He who at Petersburgh in the short time
he was there in the years 1807 and 1808 actually instituted
an establishment in this very central instructive principle,
on a still larger scale, and with compleat success
he under whose management, of which the fullest and account
may be obtained at any time, actually exist in Portsmouth
Dock Yard, working hands in very considerable
number employed many of them in the working of the machinery
invented by him for this very purpose.

4. Great apprehension is entertained but under all
notwithstanding all the so many ties, and all of them names
of his own invention which Mr Bentham in his system has provided
for the binding him to the observance of his duty by
bringing his interest in every shape to a coincidence
with it, he should for the sake of profit either overwork or underfeed or
overfeed the prisoners committed to his care. Sooner
than forfeit all the hope of rendering to his country and to
mankind the service which he continues, so fully assured its being in such an establishment in his power to render
he will be is ready and desirous to under the management
of an establishment upon his play without any such encreasing encreasable
profit upon trial.
