“My acknowledgements are due to the officers of the Penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island for their politeness in furnishing me with facilities for taking the daguerreotypes, and to Mr. L. N. Fowler for aiding me in the selection of cases; nor must I omit to name Mr. Edward Serrell, who was obliging enough to take the outline drawings for me; or Mr. Brady, to whose indefatigable patience with a class of the most difficult of all sitters, is due the advantage of a very accurate set of daguerreotypes.” -- Introductory preface by Mrs. Farnham, p. xx.
“C.G. is a German woman, noted for her obliging, submissive disposition and the kindness of her feelings ; but exceedingly wanting in self-respect and regard for the rights of others. She is now under imprisonment for larceny. The head shows large benevolence, with exceedingly deficient conscientiousness, self-esteem, and firmness.”--P. 166.
