Letter 3d
for that object £45 a year per head has never been no expence has ever been thought
too great in Your Lordship's Office , any more than
in the office underneath : I mean so long as improved
Colonies have been the scene of it . But
reformation is another thing . As to the ought
and the ought not , these are speculative points
and may be left to speculatists . The fact is,
that money for this purpose is grudged , and to
such a degree grudged , as to prevent the issue of
it . If such be the fact , and (Your Lordship a
little farther on will see it is) in the most opulent
of all opulent Counties , what may it be
expected to be in the rest!? —
Grudged or not grudged , another fact is , is
must be confessed , that in some instances more than I could <add>should have thought</add> the
money looked upon as necessary for this purpose has
been issued and prisons built accordingly : viz: these
improved prisons . (b) (b) Put Table from Nuld.
Improved prisons built , and what has been
the result,? In respect of reformation , separation
over-done , over-done in some instances to the
degree of absolute solitude : in all of them , or at
least almost all of them , the influence of that
solitude at the same time disturbed at least , if
not utterly distroyed , regularly recurring associations .
