This is a sterling Quarterly, edited with much good sense, kindliness
and tact. It vindicates the policy of solitary confinement, and is
generally on the right side. It brings forth “things new and old,”
belabors empiricism, looks upon man in his true condition of sin and
misery, and seeks righteous measures for his reformation. We have
always admired the self-relying sedateness and ingenious ability with
which the Editor opens his battery, offensive and defensive; and he
commands a long range and uses unerring projectiles. A wide field is
opened for usefulness in the department of Prison Discipline for men
of sense and religion; and we are glad that there is a valuable
Quarterly set for the defence of the truth.—_Pres. Mag._
