Containing a Farther Account of Foreign Prisons and Hospitals, With Additional Remarks on the Prisons of This Country. Warrington: Printed by William Eyres, 1784. [vi], 286, [10] pp. 18 copperplates, 16 folding. Complete. Quarto (10-3/4" x 8-1/4"; 27.3 x 21 cm).

After being shocked by the conditions of his county prison as high sheriff, Howard dedicated himself to touring hundreds of prisons in Great Britain and Western Europe. He reported his findings in the State of the Prisons, which was to quote Printing and the Mind of Man, "the first major practical work on the subject." A vivid synthesis of factual data and moral outrage, it called for drastic improvements in the housing, cleanliness and care of prisoners. Within a year of its publication it inspired a bill that established two prisons with plans based on Howard's recommendations. Later editions were published in 1780, 1784 and 1792. The first edition of the Appendix was published in 1780. Printing and the Mind of Man 224. English Short-Title Catalogue T153060, N16324.
