    town printer . Besides the usual information of an almanack and directory , a memoir on floating bridges , and a few short literary compositions , it contains an essay on prison discipline , which particularly deserves attention , as it controverts , and ( if the facts stated be , as we presume they must be , correct ) successfully controverts , many of the opinions held in this country

    concerning the state of the convicts , and the effects upon them of-the mode in which tney are treated on their arrival , and during the term of their exile . The writer maintains that they are subjected to a reformatory discipline of the most efficient kind , and he appeals for proof , not only to official regulations , but to facts well known to the population around him . He affirms that ' the grand majority of our prisoners afford a truly gratifying picture of reform , and a return to the industrious and honest avocations of life ; ' and

    that ' only one in every twenty of the offenders transported to Van Diemen ' s Land again commits offences , or subjects himself a second time to the punishment of the law / When it is remembered that these convicts are the very refuse of our gaols , this result must be regarded as not a little extraordinary . The discrepancy between such statements and those circulated by the Prison Discipline Society should be inquired into .

    ( 2 . ) A manly , fearless , and eloquent effusion , worthy of ita true-hearted author , whose Unitarian Christianity consists in the unflinching advocacy of inquiry , simplicity , freedom , and benevolence . ( 3 . ) Welcome to all such publications as this , which , by their tendency to diffuse a knowledge of , and a taste for , works of art amongst the people at large , render a noble service to our country and to the progress of civilization and humanity . ( 4 . ) Both these introductions are useful helps , and deserve our recommendation . The first we think best adapted for schools , and the second for the self-teaching , and for classes in mechanics' institutes .
