To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This man inspired me with some ideas with regard to criminals which later in life I tried to put into practice ; and also aroused in me an interest in prisons and prison discipline which I have always retained. He was a gigantic person, of immense physical strength, with receding forehead and a huge projecting jaw. He was considered to be dangerous ; five or six warders accompanied me into his cell ; and they spoke to him as though he were a dog. I looked at the man's eyes ; and I was convinced... then, as I am convinced 76 MEMOIRS OF LORD CHARLES BERESFORD now, that his intellect was impaired. Criminal psychology then hardly existed ; and although it is now recognised as a science, it must be said that existing penal conditions are still in many respects awaiting reform. Subsequent experience has proved to me that I was right in believing that many crimes of violence are due to a lesion of the brain, and cannot therefore be treated as moral offences. I heard some time subsequently that the Irishman had been shot for the attempted murder of a warder.
