About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1819. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... found to be one of great importance. They will take their turns in visiting the prison daily; they will read the Scriptures with the prisoners; they will instruct the ignorant, and will find employment for the idle. By the magic force of christian kindness they will obtain a powerful influence over the objects of their care, and they will exert that influence in discouraging the rapid progress of evil, and in fanning the feeble flame of expiring virtue: they will make themselves intimately acquainted with the disposition and circumstances of every prisoner: lastly, when a prisoner is discharged, they will watch over him for good, and will endeavour to procure for him such an. establishment in life, as will afford him an opportunity of maintenance, respectable for himself and inoffensive to his neighbours. Nor will the labours of the visitors, if directed to their proper objects, in any degree interfere with the official d uties of the magistrate, the chaplain, or the jailer. On the contrary, every one of these officers will find his proceedings in connection with the prison greatly facilitated. The visitors will be hands to the magistrate in maintaining the right system of discipline in his prison, and in promoting the great ends of his police establishment; they will assist the chaplain in his spiritual labours by preparing the soil, in which he is to sow his seed; and by rendering the prisoners more governable, --one uniform effect of kind and constant attention, --they will certainly lighten the burdens of the governor. As the committee of visitors to be connected with any jail must be formed with the sanction, and under the eye of the magistrates, care will of course be taken that those only be allowed to act, whose prudence as well as zeal can be safely trust.
