Transportation 16 volumes
The papers in this set provide an explanation and guide to the administration, purpose, achievement and effects of the British system of transportation through the period of its greatest growth to its decline in the 1860s.
The evils of the system in practice led to demands for humanitarian action and reform. One of the reforms introduced in the colonies, and in British prisons later, was the Marks system and the use of tickets-of-leave. The Marks System of discipline was developed by Captain Maconochie of Norfolk Island and is fully documented in these volumes. Supplementary information on transportation will be found as secondary material in Irish University Press subjects sets Colonies: Australia; Crime and Punishment: Penal Servitude and Prisons.
