That work, I know, had its share in the wise and great relaxation of our Criminal Code - it has had its share in results yet more valuable, because leading to more comprehensive reforms - viz., in the courageous facing of the ills which the mock decorum of timidity would shun to con template, but which, till fairly fronted, in the spirit of practical Christianity, sap daily, more and more, the walls in which blind Indolence would protect itself from restless Misery and rampant Hunger.
