ABSTRACT

The candid reader will, I have no doubt, readily excuse the few incorrect sentences in the foregoing letters, not being the productions of one who had been favoured with the most liberal education; and permit his attention to be fixed upon the benevolent spirit by which he is actuated, in the laudable endeavours he is exerting to render himself importantly tlseful to hIs poor uneducated fellow-captives. l\Jay the praise-worthy example of this individual rouse into activity many others, in the various prisons of this nation, to render similar serdces to their unfortunate companions; thus may the adyersities of human life be made, through the lJiviiJe blessing, subservient o the future prosperity of thousands in what respects their happiness in the life to come, as well as contribute essentially to their comfort on this side of the grave.
