EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing historical document is a permit issued by the Home Secretary, Viscount Palmerston, granting Thomas Tertius Paget and his party permission to view the Convict Prison at Dartmoor in England in the year 1854. The permit, which bears the official seal of the Home Office, grants the party "free access to the Prison and all its Dependencies" for the purpose of "making Drawings or taking Sketches or Notes." Thomas Tertius Paget was a renowned English architect and antiquarian, known for his extensive work on medieval and Tudor architecture. His interest in the historical significance of Dartmoor Prison, which dates back to the late 18th century, was no doubt piqued by its unique and imposing design, as well as its rich history as a place of confinement for some of the most notorious criminals of the time. The permit, dated June 1854, is a testament to the importance placed on the documentation and preservation of historical sites during the Victorian era. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the British prison system during this period, as well as the role of the Home Secretary in granting access to such sites for the purposes of research and study. The Convict Prison at Dartmoor, located in the rugged and isolated moorlands of Devon, England, was notorious for its harsh conditions and strict discipline. The prison was designed to house repeat offenders and political prisoners, and was notorious for its high mortality rate due to disease, malnutrition, and physical abuse. Despite its grim reputation, the prison remains an important part of British history, and continues to attract visitors and scholars to this day.
