Description

This latest volume in the definitive edition of Bentham's writings contains mostly unpublished letters and reveals Bentham's attempts to influence developments in France, the US, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and South America. Despite Bentham's importance as jurist, philosopher, and social scientist, and leader of the Utilitarian reformers, there has never been a complete edition of his works. This new critical edition of works and correspondence is being prepared by the Bentham Committee of University College, London. Containing many letters previously unpublished, this collection will prove valuable to scholars of modern British history, particularly nineteenth-century social, political, and legal history.
