1. First end. Example
The of penal action is is in the vicinity of
the metropolis; the spot in which the la number
of people are collected together, an in especially
those for whose use the exemplification of punishment
is principally designed. The appearance of the
building, the singularity of its shape, the walls
and motes with which it is surrounded, the
guard stationed at the gates, all this is calculated to
excite the idea of restraint & punishment:
which the novelty of the right and the facility of
the admission will scarcely fail to attract a multitude
of visitors. And what is it they will see? A set of
men deprived of the liberty they have ??? employed,
compelled to labour which has been the object of their
aversion, & punished for their intemperance by a
strict regimen: the most atrocious malefactors distinguished
by a particular deg dress indicating the
nature of their crime offence. To the greater proportion
of spectators what scene could be more instructive!
What a source of conversation, of allusion, of domestic
occasion what comparison can be more natural than
than that of free labour and the enjoyment of
a state of innocence with the rigours of coercion &
captivity. Notwithstanding this the ??al, is less than
the apparent punishment: spectators who have
time to glance only at the melancholy exhibition
are not in a condition to appretiate the circumstances
that mitig contribute to the mitigation of the suffering
of the Prisoners. The punishment is visible, and
is naturally exaggerated by the imagination: the mitigation
