Correspondence /repositories/5/archival_objects/1115925 3 boxes 1784-1836 1820-1836 Scope and Contents

The series contains correspondence on the topic of criminal jurisprudence, including criminal law, prison reform, prison conditions, and the abolition of capital punishment. Civil and (perhaps) commercial law are also discussed, but to a lesser extent. The primary issue is the discussion, compilation, and dissemination of Livingston's System of Penal Law, completed in 1825. Many of the letters are in response to the circulars which Livingston distributed, and to the publication of his reports and codes.

Correspondents include John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Alexander Dallas Bache, Franklin Bache, Francois Barbe-Marbois, Jeremy Bentham, George M. Bibb, Simon Bolivar, John Bowring, Henry Adams Bullard, Mathew Carey, Ezekiel F. Chambers, Charles X of France, Charles XIV, John of Norway and Sweden, John Clark, Henry Clay, DeWitt Clinton, Cadwallader D.

 Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically by correspondent, preceded by a folder of circulars by Livingston (1821-1824), and followed by a folder of tables and data relating to prisons (1784-1834) and a mailing list and list of correspondents compiled by Livingston's son-in-law Thomas P. Barton.

Approximately two dozen letters, mainly those by authors whose letters were also found in Subseries 1C were transferred from Subseries 1A: Correspondence, General to this file group. Conversely, several letters were moved from this group of correspondence to Subseries 1A: Correspondence, General, due to the varied nature of their contents. See Chateaubriand, James Fenimore Cooper, Thomas Eddy, Edward Everett, Horace Holley, James Brown, and the Comte Sellon.
