William Harrison Ainsworth : Jack Sheppard
Statement of a juvenile offender: "I have been three times in prison and once discharged. I have been at the Sanspareil and Amphitheatre; I have also been at the penny hop... I am sure the theatres would bring any youngster to ruin: they don't care where they get their money, so that they do but get it to join their companions. I was very fond of seeing 'Jack Sheppard' performed. I have read his life; I bought it."

Curtin : The Times (series of articles)
'Dear Dr. Prothero, Are you reading Curtin's articles in the Times? I have followed every one of them very carefully, and I must admit I started reading them with some anxiety. Then I read about his letter of introduction to Mr. Drechsler, given to him by Prof. Muensterberg [...] I have read every one of his articles so far and I can now honestly assure you that all of my anxiety about seeing perhaps a great deal of similar material, as that which forms the MSS of my book, has entirely evaporated.'

[n/a] : Bible
J.M., convict sentenced to transportation, writing to Rev. Joseph: 'I am at present amongst sin and wickedness of the worst description; but thanks be to Almighty God, I am kept from it by his grace, which I have found to be all sufficient in every time of trouble. I have made the Word of God my chief companion, and when I come from my work, I take the Bible in hand, and read a chapter or two; and I do assure you I derive much comfort from the same.'
