Lost And Found Or Light In The Prison: A Narrative, With Original Letters, Of A Convict, Condemned For Forgery (1859) is a memoir written by Benjamin Bensley, a former convict who was sentenced to prison for forgery. The book is a first-hand account of Bensley's time in prison, including his experiences with the legal system, his relationships with other prisoners, and his personal struggles with guilt and shame.The narrative is interspersed with original letters written by Bensley during his time in prison, providing a unique insight into the daily life of a convict in the mid-19th century. Bensley also reflects on the nature of crime and punishment, and the role of religion in his life both before and after his imprisonment.Overall, Lost And Found Or Light In The Prison offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian crime and punishment, as well as a powerful testimony to the transformative power of personal redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
