[n/a] : Bible

Case study, E.E.S., a Jew, young man of respectable German family, at first confined in a common prison where associated with other prisoners, before moved to Pentonville: 'For months after he came to Pentonville the poor man could speak of nothing but the injustice and cruelty of the English. At last he became quiet, and even cheerful, under different treatment; studied most assidiously the New and Old Testaments, in reference to the claims of Christianity upon his belief; withdrew himself from the teaching of his Rabbi, who could not satisfy his inquiring mind; and before he left, professed an entire acquiescence in the truths of our Divine religion.'
