his knowledge: in a Panopticon, forgive me for saying, nothing
of this sort could happen from the worst of men.
You ought In justice to the poor Devil man to have had his you ought the application
application ought to have been forwarded to you much sooner: but it was kept first for Sir Charles
Bunbury and afterwards by him: and the truth is that after
so much reason as I have had to regret the having meddled
with the subject, every step I do have occasion to take
feel myself called upon to take in relation to it is as
irksome to me as hard labour to the idlest of the poor wretches
it has been I my wish I would have wished to serve. I am, Dear Sir, &c.
P.S. I don't know whether it be worth while to mention,
that rather than the Panopticon plan should not have a
trial, I would sacrifice to it the garden that you saw,
and erect a Panopticon on it, without requiring a penny
till the day when every thing was in readiness to receive the prisoners:
Whatever may be upon those terms the objections to it, pecuniary risk to Government
will hardly I believe upon those terms be of the
number.
