The State of the Prisons in England and Wales, with Preliminary Observations, and an Account of Some Foreign Prisons by John Howard (1726-1790) was the first major practical work on prison reform from the standpoint of design, sanitation and methods of operation. Howard embarked on a career of prison reform in 1773, after visiting a local jail in his official capacity as High Sheriff of Bedfordshire, where he was appalled not only by the jail's disease-ridden squalor, but by the fact that persons proven innocent, or not formally accused of crime, could still be forcibly detained until they had paid the jailers their customary delivery fees. He suggested to the justices of Bedfordshire that the jailers be paid a salary from county funds in lieu of fees, and was told to find a precedent for this scheme. An exhaustive search of all the counties in England failed to yield even one, but provided Howard with so much evidence of abuse and misery that in 1774 he was able, by testifying before a committee of the House of Commons, to inspire the immediate passage of bills abolishing jailers' fees and calling for improved prison sanitation. Howard then made two tours of Continental jails-- he was particularly impressed by Dutch criminal rehabilitation programs-- and a second round of English prisons, gathering material for the present volume. Its publication resulted in the passage of another bill establishing two penitentiaries modeled on those Howard had seen in Holland, where brutal treatment of prisoners was replaced by solitary confinement, religious instruction and vocational training.--J. Norman.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
