For _Visitors_, at the time of Divine service, an _Annular Gallery_, rising from a floor laid immediately on the cieling of the Central Inspection-Room, and disclosed to view, by the descent of a central _Dome_, the superior surface of which serves, after descent, for the reception of Ministers, Clerk, and a select part of the Auditory: the Prisoners all round, brought forward, within perfect view and hearing of the Ministers, to the front of their respective Cells. _Solitude_, or _limited Seclusion_, _ad libitum_.--But, unless for punishment, limited seclusion in assorted companies is preferred: an arrangement, upon this plan alone, exempt from danger. The degree of _Seclusion_ fixed upon may be preserved, in all places, and at all times, _inviolate_. Hitherto, where solitude has been aimed at, some of its chief purposes have been frustrated by occasional associations. The _Approach_, _one_ only--_Gates_ opening into a walled _avenue_ cut through the area. Hence, no strangers near the building without _leave_, nor without being _surveyed_ from it as they pass, nor without being known to come _on purpose_. The gates, of _open_ work, to _expose hostile_ mobs: On the other side of the road, a wall with a branch of the road behind, to _shelter peaceable_ passengers from the fire of the building. A mode of fortification like this, if practicable, in a city, would have saved the _London Prisons_, and prevented the unpopular accidents in _St. George's Fields_. The _surrounding Wall_, itself surrounded by an open palisade, which serves as a fence to the grounds on the other side.--Except on the side of the Approach _no public path_ by that fence.--A _Centinel's Walk_ between; on which no one else can set foot, without forcing the fence, and declaring himself a trespasser at least, if not an enemy. To the four walls, four such walks _flanking_ and _crossing_ each other at the ends.--Thus each Centinel has two to check him. In contemplating the whole of this important design, it is impossible to avoid congratulating the Public on the prospect which now opens by a recent vote of Parliament,[153] for the purpose of carrying it speedily into effect. [Footnote 153: At the close of the Session in June 1798, the House of Commons voted 36000_l._ to Mr. Bentham, toward the expence of carrying his plan into execution. See the Appropriation Act, 39 Geo. III. c. 114.] It comprizes in its structure every thing humanity can dictate, or which a mind full of resource, and a judgment matured by great depth of thought could suggest, for the purpose of relieving Society from a dreadful and oppressive evil.
