Description:
First edition in French of the liberal Swedish king's treatise on prisons, advocating penal reform (particularly regarding prison employment and education) and analysing both the Auburn and Philadelphia systems. Also published in 1842, the English edition was, like the French, translated from the German edition of 1841. It was originally published anonymously the previous year in Sweden as Om Straff och straffanstalter. See Goldsmiths' 33983. Octavo. Original pale blue wrappers printed in black, partially unopened. 3 folding plates showing prison floor plans and designs. Wrappers a little marked and tanned with a few creases to extremities, some spotting to contents, overall a very good copy. Seller Inventory # 91112
