of the present day in Germany, speaking on this
subject, says: "All that is done with regard to
the penal laws, is but half finished labour, if the
attention be not also directed to the foundation
itself — the improvement of the prisons." This
principle is particularly applicable in our own
country, where imprisonment and punishment
in houses of correction, are still at a very law
point and are but little developed.
The present work, intended to throw, in
some degree at least, a light upon some of these
important questions, during the present meeting
of the Diet *), is divided into four chapters,
the first containing: General views of
punishment; the second: The origin and successive
development of the Penitentiary system; the
third: A comparison between the two systems,
on which the public attention is at present fixed;
and finally the fourth: The application of the
Penitentiary-system in Sweden.
*) 1840—1841.
