The good ship "Nautilus" had completed the greater part of her voyage from London to her far-off destination, deep in the recesses of British America. This was York Factory, one of the chief posts of the Hudson Bay Company. Among the numerous streams flowing into Hudson Bay, from the frozen regions of the north, is the Nelson River. Near the mouth of this and of the Hayes River was erected, many years ago, Fort York, or York Factory. The post is not a factory in the ordinary meaning of the word, being simply the headquarters of the factors or dealers in furs for that vast monopoly whose agents have scoured the dismal regions to the north of the Saskatchewan, in the land of Assiniboine, along the mighty Yukon and beyond the Arctic Circle, in quest of the fur-bearing animals, that are found only in their perfection in the coldest portions of the globe.

How To Punish Crime, And In so Doing reform The Criminal; How To Uphold The Man As A Terror To Evil-Doers, And Yet At The Same Time Be Implanting in him The Seeds Of A Future More Happy And Prosperous Life--This Is Perhaps The Most Difficult Problem Of Legislation. We Are Far From Despairing of Some Approximation To A Solution, Which Is The Utmost That Can Be Looked for; But We Are Also Convinced that Even This Approximation Will Not Be Presented to Us By Those Who Seem Willing to Blind Themselves To The Difficulties They Have To Contend With. Without, Therefore, Assuming the Air Of Opposition To The Schemes Of Philanthropic Legislators, We Would Correct, So Far As Lies In our Power, Some Of Those Misconceptions And Oversights Which Energetic Reformers Are Liable To Fall Into, Whilst Zealously Bent On Viewing Punishment In its Reformatory Aspect. We Have Selected for Our Comments The Pamphlets Of Captain Maconochie, Not Only Because They Illustrate The Hasty And Illogical Reasonings, The Utter Forgetfulness Of Elementary Principles, Into Which Such Reformers Are Apt To Lapse; But Also For The Still Better Reason, That They Contain A Suggestion Of Real Value; A Contribution Towards An Efficient Prison-Discipline, Which Merits Examination And An Extensive Trial.
