Aikin,John - A View of the character and public services of the late John Howard, Esq., LL.D. F.R.S.

J. Johnson, London, 1792,248 pp., not ill., nice half-leather binding, Once alerted to the pityful plight of people confined to prison for debts, John Howard knew no bounds and travelled the length and breadth of Europe to document and more importantly to improve the circumstances in every prison he could find. Far from home, in Kherson, Ukraine, he met his end, falling victim “to the same putrid fever which he had banished from so many prisons”. Mrs. Mary Guthrie, who visited his grave and monument some years after, noticed the irony, and continued: “Happy would it be for the world, if British eccentricity often took so useful a turn!” (code N-44)
