Letter 3d
If, in from the account picture here given of the Penitentiary
system it should occur happen to any reader to
have entertained a favourable conception, an observation
that will naturally natural enough to apt enough present itself will be
that it was and is the duty of administration to carry
it into effect — in the first place because Parliament
has required them so to do had made it their duty — in the next place because
although Parliament had not as yet spoken — it would
have been their duty it being what it is to have spoken
themselves in the subject to Parliament.
Unable to account by any thing in the
itself for the material he will find it to have received
— he will be naturally led — to the supposition of
something wrong and as yet about the prison
concerned, as the only remaining topic source of explanation from
which a solution of the any explanation of a conduct otherwise so problem is to be obtained.
what will otherwise appear to him a mystery, can
be explained.
