invented a new species of building stiled a Panopticon

and condition of all persons therein without exception
and thence the conduct of the Inspector and
his Subordinates in the management thereof may
to all proper persons and at all proper times be
rendered apparent at one view And Whereas Jeremy
Bentham of Lincoln's Inn Barrister at Law having
with the allowance and assistance of his Brother
the said Samuel Bentham applied the principle of
the said Panopticon to the special purpose of an edifice
for the reception of Prisoners, and having by means
thereof devised a plan of management calculated
for the carrying into execution in a superior degree the
good purposes by the Act aforesaid intended in
respect of Sage custody, Employment, Instruction, Reformation,
and subsequent maintenance after discharge,
hath offered at his own expence to purchase
and pay for the said Ground, and thereon also at
his own expence to erect, fit up, furnish and stock
a building or assemblage of buildings on the said
plan
