Letter 3d
been less sincere in such their profession , than the Duke
of Portland would have been , had he done what he has
not done — condescended so much as to profess any such
disposition as that of promoting the object of the Act?
I mean , my Lord , the Act which was calling upon him
as it continues calling upon Your Lordship nor for obstruction
but for obedience - the Act his Grace has so well
"examined and understood the object of" the Act for the
establishment of that Penitentiary House , which it was
the object of this Letter of his to of as many
inhabitants as had been designed for it by that Act .
It is in pursuance of this plan , my Lord, that a
little more than five months after viz: on the 25th of
March 1800, the Treasury, on the ground of a preparatory
Letter therein spoken of as received from his Grace , write
to me to acquaint me that the "proposed building of
"a Panopticon was to be calculated to accommodate 2000
"persons".
