Mr Acton says he has not received a copy. I fear there have been many mistakes this time as I have too many 2nd vols. Please to keep a list of what copies of those 10 are sent off. I have had very favourable and friendly reviews; the 'Inquirer' as usual on that subject cold & dry; not one has yet grasped however the meaning of the book in the smallest degree. It is a comfort however that those who understand the subject are perfectly satisfied; the Baron Von Wollenberg & Mr M. wrote very warmly and I have reason to hope that many thoughtful persons are reading it so I must wait patiently for the rest to spring up & am only thankful to have been thus enabled to bear a testimony which will remain to principles of the highest importance to the well being and morality of the country:- if one tenth of this kind of thought which are devoted to speculation and theology were given to extending the reign of God by converting sinners how different would the world be! I shall be glad when you have finished theology and are engaged in the spread of religion. Reading Miss Aitkin's letters has led me to open Channing and I am interested in perceiving how completely my reformatory work is in accordance with his views. <br/><br/>Mary Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform.
