t on the history and discipline of peniten-tiaries in the United States, from which much aid has been derived in the hasty preparation ofthese pages. It was founded on a basis of private subscription, aided by annual assistance fromthe state; and is administered by officers chosen by the society, and superintended by itsconstant vigilance, under a system of general laws for its government, enacted by the legisla-ture. It thus partakes of the character partly of a private, though mainly of a public institu-tion ; while it has been one of very eminent utility for the rescue of thousands from a careerof crime and ruin. It is conducted for the most part on the general plan of the Auburn esta-blishment, though moderated in severity, and adapted to the diffisrent class of subjects em-braced within its action ; children of both sexes are received in it under the age of sixteen. Itis a just subject of pride to both the state and the city, as well as of gratitude to its foundersand supporters.
