Reflections on Charity and Prostitution in Europe
A lengthy critical essay discusses the Magdalen Charity and abroad reformatories in Amsterdam and other cities. It contrasts punitive and reformist approaches, cites a Dutch system, and critiques Italian and Catholic practices. The piece argues for mercy, public order, and a humane policy while reflecting on British affairs and peace prospects. It also surveys treaties from Utrecht to Aix la Chapelle, urging justice and territorial rights in North America.
