35 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 nor 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 or 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
knows nothing , it remains unknown , choosing it
should be for the sort of reason above mentioned . —

The passages in question are as follows : "industry,
"order , discipline , subordination , 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.
