health of so numerous an assemblage or persons, so subjected to confinement:
the decision is given with respect to the sort of place by a subsequent Committee
of the House of Commons, and with respect to the individual place by that
same Committee (see the Report of 1784) in confirmation of that given by
the 12 Judges, added to the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker, and the first Magistrate
of the Metropolis—the measure is finally has already been sanctioned, and the place
price of the place assessed under the Act of Parliament, by the verdict
of a Jury. An improvement is afterwards devised in the system, an
improvement deemed such in spite of predilection and every personal
motive by the very persons (for such is their generosity and public spirit)
whom it throws out of office. It is deemed such, and as such adopted
and patronized by an Administration, with whom the Author had not
the honour of the most distant previous connection or prospect of connection
whatsoever. This improvement can not any more than the
original plan do without a spot to operate upon. The building to be
erected in conformity to this improvement must then be set down in some
neighbourhood, and that a neighbourhood possessed of the above mentioned
advantages. What then is to be done? Shall the establishment be
turned off on account of this improvement from a more eligible to
a less eligible neighbourhood, or for want of a neighbourhood that
might like to receive it, is it to be supposed that an establishment
of such importance to all neighbourhoods would be set aside altogether?

A prison can not exist, but it must exist on some neighbourhood:
it can not exist in a town, but it must exist in a crowded
neighbourhood, a d neighbourhood beyond comparison exposed to the
objection
