Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Remarks on Transportation: And on a Recent Defense of the System, in a Second Letter to Earl Grey"" is a book written by Richard Whately in 1834. The book presents a critical analysis of the transportation system, which was a practice of sending convicts from England to its colonies in Australia and other parts of the world. Whately argues against the transportation system, stating that it is an ineffective method of punishment and rehabilitation for criminals. He also criticizes the recent defense of the system by Earl Grey, a British politician and colonial administrator. Whately's arguments are supported by his observations and experiences as a member of the Church of Ireland and a professor of theology at Oxford University. The book provides a valuable insight into the debates surrounding the transportation system in the 19th century and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
