Partitions
moveable
An Since I saw you an idea has just occurred to me in proof
of the likelyhood there is that occasions may
present themselves of for wishing to make deviate
from the original contract. In the book I
have supposed all the partitions walls that divide
the cells are supposed to be all of them brick or stone: in short fixed. It now
occurs to me it would be better on several
accounts if one a number of them were
to be of wood, so as occasionally to slide in
and out. 1. It would be better it should not be
out of the every body's power if those to alleviate
the punishment by admitting either from the
first or after a certain time by allowing two or more
to live together. [+]
[+] This might seem
a mighty trivial
concern to some persons
writing and reading
like you and me
at our ease: but to
the poor devils
in question it
may make the
difference between
rapture and despair.
I am
speaking to one by
whom this remark
will I am sure
be felt in its full
force.
2. The nature of the structure might more pliable, if one may
to make for a space capable of being so say the construction is left in this respect, the greater
upon occasion enlarged. partition when latitude is left with regard to the choice of the manufacture:
so I need the less the danger that if the one first
pitched upon should fail, the establishment should be precluded
