Softcover. Condition: Very Good (Used copy). AUSTRALIANAProfessor Shaw examines the working of the transportation system far more closely than his predecessors who have so often been contentwith a few horror stories. In this book he puts it in its proper place as one of the various modes of punishment used in the English penal system, and considers it reformatory as well as its deterrent features. He reminds us that Australia was not the only colony to which British statesmen wanted to send their felons. 399 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. #131123 Bibliography: p. 379-390.
