""The Clergyman In The Gaol: An Essay On Prison Discipline"" is a book written by George Heaton in 1847. It is a critical analysis of the prison system in England during the 19th century, with a focus on the role of the clergy in the rehabilitation of prisoners. Heaton argues that the current system is ineffective in reforming prisoners and that the clergy should play a more active role in the process. He also discusses the conditions of prisons, including overcrowding and poor sanitation, and suggests ways to improve them. Heaton's work is an important contribution to the history of prison reform and provides insight into the social and political issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
