PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL OF PRISON DISCIPLINE.
This is a sterling Quarterly, edited with much good sense, kindliness and tact. It vindicates the policy of solitary confinement, and is generally on the right side. It brings forth “things new and old,” belabors empiricism, looks upon man in his true condition of sin and misery, and seeks righteous measures for his reformation. We have always admired the self-relying sedateness and ingenious ability with which the Editor opens his battery, offensive and defensive; and he commands a long range and uses unerring projectiles. A wide field is opened for usefulness in the department of Prison Discipline for men of sense and religion; and we are glad that there is a valuable Quarterly set for the defence of the truth.—Pres. Mag.
