46pp (numbered 474-519 - this is an extract from the Pamphleteer) 21x13, sewn pamphlet Front page marked, edges rubbed and chipped, corners bumped with some creasing, otherwise surprisingly good for fragile item without covers. Survey of three of London's prisons, including the newly rebuilt Marshalsea. Conditions were poor and massively overcrowded, with management almost non-existent, with poorer and less experienced prisoners exploited by warders and fellow prisoners alike. Reforms are recommended. The Wardens of each prison were able to make substantial profits from the 'gaol fees' they charged the prisoners. Bennet was a Radical who repeatedly raised concerns about the state of these prisons and the abuses in them. It is not wholly clear if this Report was one that he was responsible for, but he promoted the establishment of this and a similar Committee in 1815 as part of a campaign against gaol fees, so it seems likely.…

Condición: A fine copy. Octavo, bound with the (often lacking) half-title, folding table, 137pp.; traditional half calf, spine lettered in gilt. Scarce first edition of Bennet's scathing attack on the convict system under Governor Macquarie. This work is one of the more significant contemporary accounts of convict discipline, and is considered an essential document of the Macquarie era, not least as it prompted Macquarie's own response. Henry Bennet (1777-1836) was a British parliamentarian who began a crusade for penitentiary reform that culminated in 1816. His "efforts 'to diminish the sum of human misery' adorn the history of English criminal law. No retributory institution, prison, hulk, penal colony, or penitentiary adequately combined punishment with reformation: he and his select committees exposed them, but to little avail" (ODB). The scope of his inquiry was both broad and enlightened, and included the conflation of political prisoners with felons and the plight of insane persons. Nor surprisingly, the penal colony at New South Wales was attacked as a dumping ground. Bennet writes here that "to get rid of the miserable objects of legal punishment constituted the sole occupation of these administrators of our penal law; and when the grave closed on some, and the distance of half the globe prevented the cries of the others of the victims we banished from our shores from being heard in England, these artificers of death, moral and physical, were satisfied the law had taken its course.". Bennet was manipulated and sometimes misinformed by enemies of Macquarie (including the sanctimonious and vitriolic "flogging parson" Samuel Marsden). Nonetheless, his Letter to Viscount Sidmouth reflects deep contemporary concern with the problematic role of New South Wales as a place of both punishment and reform. This is a fine copy which has belonged at different times to three notable Australian collections. .

The book is a letter addressed to Viscount Sidmouth, the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom, and it discusses the transportation laws in the country, the state of the hulks (old ships used as prisons), and the colonies in New South Wales.
