Excerpt from Letter on the Penitentiary System of Pennsylvania: Addressed to William Roscoe, Esquire, of Toxteth Park, Near Liverpool The following letter, which originally appeared in the National Gazette, was subsequently republished in all the daily journals of Philadelphia excepting one, and has since been transferred to several newspapers of the interior of Pennsylvania, and also to some of those of other states, accompanied, in most instances, by approbatory editorial remarks. This favourable notice of the information, and opinions furnished in his letter, has induced the acting Committee of the Prison Society of this city, and the writer, to believe, that further benefit would result from the distribution of it in pamphlet form, which is his sole motive for thus presenting it to his fellow-citizens, with some collateral matter appended.
