Excerpt from Notes on a Visit Made to Some of the Prisons in Scotland and the North of England, in Company With Elizabeth Fry: With Some General Observations on the Subject of Prison Discipline The principal object of our journey was connected with the concerns of our own religious Society, thiat'of Friends; but we also made a point of inspecting the prisons in the several towns, through which we passed.
