John Howard Esqr
The Prisoner's friend
A man who unbidden and unpaid, without any
personal interest or party views, through the mere
love of his country and of humankind, the most distressed and helpless neglected cast of the human species, in a course
of the most toilsome and and well considered painful researches, at
the frequent and imminent hazard of his life, by
visiting all the [Gaols] Prisons places of legal confinement]
in South Britain detected and a great part of
the continent with unshaken fortitude and committed embattled penetration not to be eluded
neither perseverance not to be [overcome] detected abuses
not for the pleasure of censuring censure an but from
the hope of reforming reformation rectifying, and in the soundest judgment & unruffled moderation,
zeal and and moderation are happily generated
by a system of the most judicious and
well imagined remedies has laid the foundation of a
great reform in our the police for which the period
will ever be heard to bless him
