Item description from seller

A Pioneering System of English Penology [Penology]. [Great Britain]. General Regulations for Inspection and Controul of All the Prisons, Together with the Rules, Orders, And Bye Laws, For the Government of the Gaol and Penitentiary House, For the County of Glocester, Made, Published, And Declared at a General or Quarter Sessions of the Peace, Holden by Adjournment on the 15th of July, 1790 (.) and Confirmed by the Judges of Assize, at the Assizes held for the said County, on the 6th Day of August, 1790. Glocester: Printed by R. Raikes. Sold by T. Cadel, In the Strand; And J. Evans, Pater-Noster-Row, London [et al.], [1790]. [ii], 84; 47, [1] pp. Two parts, each with title page and individual pagination. Octavo (9" x 6"; 23 x 15 cm). Stab-stitched pamphlet with untrimmed edges bound into later buckram, gilt title to spine. Light rubbing to extremities, corners bumped. Moderate toning to interior, light foxing to a few leaves, early repair to front endleaf. A very good copy. $250 * First edition. The General Regulations describes the influential reformed system of Gloucestershire's prisons produced under the direction of the Gloucestershire reformer and philanthropist Sir George Onesiphorus Paul [1846-1920]. One of the first systems of its kind introduced in England, it was, as noted by Webb and Webb, "a carefully thought-out plan of separate sleeping and separate employment in isolated cells, varied with daily chapel, twenty-minutes' tread-wheel and twenty minutes' walk-all in silent association-and professedly tempered, every day or every few days, by regular visits from and conversation with the master and the chaplain, the surgeon and the Visiting Justice." This work had an undated, and much shorter, second edition. Both editions are scarce. OCLC locates no copies of the first edition in North America; the English Short-Title Catalogue locates 3 (McMaster University, Newberry Library, University of Pennsylvania). Webb & Webb, English Prisons Under Local Government 90. English Short-Title Catalogue T1839.
