The large pile of buildings which forms such a prominent object on Blackwell's Island, known as the Penitentiary, is familiar to most of the residents of New York City, though the every day life of its inmates is practically known only to that class to which they immediately belong.

Of this great New Forest, Lyndhurst was made the capital and the administrative centre, and such it is still.
