Thoughts on Convict Management, and other subjects connected with the Australian Penal Colonies.[London : John W. Parker, 1839, 1st ed.] iv, viii, ii, errata slip, 222, 16 (supplement printed at Hobart Town), 16pp adverts.,bound in original blue/green cloth.In 1836 Maconochie accompanied Sir John Franklin, the new lieutenant-governor of Van Diemens Land to Hobart Town as his private secretary. Once there, he prepared a report published as a parliamentary paper on the treatment of convicts. Its contents, however, proved so inflammatory that Franklin was forced to dismiss him. Maconochie was, nonetheless, given an opportunity to put his reformative theories on convict management into practice on Norfolk Island, where he was appointed superintendent in 1840. It was on Norfolk Island that Maconochie formulated and applied most of the principles on which modern penology is based.$8001,200Ex 916'
