The station of Jailor is not in common account a very elevated one: the addition of Contractor has not much tendency to raise it. he little dreamt, when he first launched into the subject, that he was to become a suitor, and perhaps in vain, for such an office. But inventions unpractised might be in want of the inventor: and a situation, thus clipped of emoluments, while it was loaded with obligations, might be in want of candidates. Penetrated, therefore, with the importance of the end, he would not suffer himself to see any thing unpleasant or discreditable in the means.

OUTLINE of the Plan of Construction alluded to in the above Proposal. THE Building circular - AN Iron Cage, glazed - a Glass Lantern, about the size of Ranalagh - the Prisoners, in their Cells, occupying the Circumference - The Officers, (Governor, Chaplain, Surgeon. &c.) the Center.

 By Blind, and other contrivances, the Inspectors concealed (except in as far as they think fit to show themselves) from the observation of the Prisoners : hence the sentiment of a fort of invisible omnipresence.
