Letter 3d
is, that even when every improvement looked to has
also actually been made the advantages, even setting
aside what Your Lordship has just been seeing in
Chapter economy, sections architecture and official
establishment, would not be every where alike indisputable. —
In proof of the latter proposition I will beg
leave to take for an example the most favourite of
all then "improved prisons": the prison in which the
admirers of improved prisons would be most at home,
if in any: the prison honoured by their most especial
protection, and which it was their especial care should
note "become neglected" for want of inhabitants. The
prison sevi serving for example, for proof I will beg
leave to refer Your Lordship to a very recent publication
from a pen which as far as depends on intrinsic indications,
prefers though anonymous the most irrecusable
claim to confidence. * * The True State of the House of Correction in Cold Bath Fields &c by a Middlesex Magistrate. 1802. To Your Lordship, is such things
were worth knowing, the name of the Author could
scarcely I think be unknown: although to me, who
knuows nothing, it remains unknown, choosing it
should be for the sort of reason above mentioned. —
The passages in question are as follows: "industry,
"order, disciplines, ubordination, economy" are the points
they touch upon.
No 1. Page 11. "The due employment of the Prisoners
"according to law in such work as they have been accustomed
"to, & for which they are most fit, has been discontinued;
"& since that time there has been a gradual decline of
"industry, order , discipline & subordination in the Prison". No 2.
