“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.
