Description

First Edition, Leather Binding

The first edition.

An important essay on the secondary punishments on those who had been transported to Australia, addressed to Earl Grey, the Prime Minister at the time, who found himself influenced by this work.

The author here argues that transportation and the secondary punishments are ineffective at deterring criminals.

Including an appendix titled 'Suggestions for the Improvement of our System of Colonization'. 

By Richard Whately, the Archbishop of Dublin. He was one of the first reviewers to recognise the talents of Jane Austen.
