Overview

Excerpt from Visits to Female Prisoners at Home and Abroad: Edited at the Request of the Committee of the British Ladies' Society, for Promoting the Reformation of Female Prisoners All that could be retained of the original work has been combined with the new materials fur nished by the lapse of years, and by the continued progress of the Society. The first chapter, as regards Newgate, remains as it was, with only such additions as were necessary to bring down the work to the present time. The simple and affecting story of Mary Joy will be recognised by all who read it in the earlier edition. The Chapter on Patronage and the first part of that on Convicts have also been re-written for the present work by the same pen. If in reference to particular localities there may appear to be a deficiency of information, this does not arise from any lack of effort to procure it. Every exertion has been made by the ladies'-secretaries of the Society, and by the Editress; but of our friends in Ireland and of some others to whom, like Glendower.
