Dinwiddy. The Correspondence volumes represent the ‘backbone’, so to speak, of the authoritative edition of The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham , giving scholars the orientation that enables them to begin to make sense of Bentham’s published works and the vast collection of his unpublished papers, consisting of around 60,000 folios in UCL Library and 12,500 folios in the British Library. The present volume has been attractively re-keyed in a typeface that is sympathetic to the original design, and crucially the exact pagination of the original volume has been retained, so that referencing remains stable. The opportunity has been taken to incorporate corrections identified by the Bentham Project. Professor Emmanuelle de Champs (University of Cergy-Pontoise) has kindly checked the accuracy of the reproduction of the French material according to the conventions cur- rently adopted in the edition as a whole. The letters in the present volume, which opens on the brink of the French Revolution and closes with Britain embroiled in war with Revolutionary France, represent a rich and diverse period in Bentham’s life. The French Revolution provided him with an opportu- nity, as he saw it, to influence the reconstruction of the French state. He drew on his knowledge of English political and constitutional practice, together with the theoretical insights he had developed in his own work, in order to offer advice to the French as to how they might achieve peaceful constitutional reform. He offered a series of innovative solutions, including instructions on how to organize a polit- ical assembly, recommendations for a constitutional settlement, and a scheme for the detailed reform of the judicial system. Two volumes of Bentham’s writings on the French Revolution have appeared in the Collected Works Political Tactics , edited by Michael James, Cyprian Blamires, and Catherine Pease-Watkin, published in 1999, was composed for the Estates-General prior to the outbreak of the Revolution and contains advice on how to organize a legislative assembly, both in terms of the physical space it occupied, its formal P R E F A C E T O T H E N E W E D I T I O N vi v i procedures, and its relationship with the people it represented. Rights, Representation, and Reform: Nonsense upon Stilts and other Writings on the French Revolution , edited by Philip Schofield, Catherine Pease- Watkin, and Cyprian Blamires, published in 2002, contains the earliest utilitarian justification of political equality and representative democ- racy (including the advocacy of female suffrage three years before Mary Wollstonecraft began to write her Vindication of the Rights of Women ). In the meantime, in April 1789 Bentham had finally pub- lished what has become his best-known work, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation , which had been printed in 1780, although it had little impact at the time. Very little heed appears to have been taken of Bentham’s work in France, though the National Assembly did elect him as an honorary citizen of France in 1792 in recognition of his efforts. By this time, however, Bentham had become disenchanted with the turn of events in France, being particularly affected by the stoning to death of the Duc de La Rochefoucauld in the September Massacres of 1792. War with Revolutionary France commenced on 1 February 1793, and would con- tinue, with only two short breaks, until Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815. In the mid-1790s, like many of his fellow countrymen who were alarmed by developments in France, Bentham came to the view that political reform should be avoided. He devoted his energies to pro- moting a variety of schemes that he hoped would address problems being faced by the British state. Foremost amongst these was his pan- opticon prison scheme. In 1790 he began to advocate the building of a panopticon prison in Dublin, and his explanatory essay on the sub- ject, Panopticon: or, The Inspection-House , appeared early in 1791. He opened negotiations with William Pitt’s administration to build a panopticon in London, and also had hopes of establishing one in Edinburgh and even in Paris. The panopticon project was very much intended as a joint venture with his younger brother Samuel, who had returned from Russia in 1791 with a Russian knighthood in recognition of his military service at Ochakov in 1788. A significant personal development for Bentham was his meeting in 1788 with the Genevan Etienne Dumont, who later produced five French recensions of Bentham’s writings, the first being Traités de lég- islation civile et pénale in 1802, and thereby establishing Bentham’s reputation as a philosopher and jurist. Dumont had arrived in England in 1786, having been appointed as tutor to the son of the Marquis of Lansdowne, with whom Bentham remained on intimate terms during P R E F A C E T O T H E N E W E D I T I O N vii v i i these years. Finally, the death of his father Jeremiah in March 1792 put Bentham in possession not only of significant financial resources, but of the large house in Queen’s Square Place, Westminster, which became his principal residence for the remainder of his life.

Huntington Library, San Marino, California; the Librarian, Historical Society of Pennsylvania; the Keeper of the Hyde Collection, Four Oaks Farm, Somerville, New Jersey; the Librarian, New York Public Library; the Librarian, Yale University; the Most Hon. the Marquess of Lansdowne and his son, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shelburne; the Right Hon. the Earl Spencer; Col. Sir John G. Carew Pole, Bt., of Antony House, Torpoint, Cornwall, the Right Hon. the Baron Congleton; Sir John Eden, Bt.; Sir Edward Hoare, Bt.; the Right Hon. the Earl Stanhope; Mr D. R. Bentham. The grateful acknowledgements of the Committee are also due to the following bodies for financial assistance towards the cost of the editorial work on these volumes: the Pilgrim Trust, the British Academy and the Social Sciences Research Council. A substantial advance from the Provost and Council of University College London and a generous loan from the Friends of University College London provided the funds required for the volumes to be put into print. Four editorial assistants in succession gave valuable help in copying from manuscripts, checking typed transcripts and collecting information for footnotes: Miss Judith Stafford (now Mrs T. Le Goff), Dr Michael Harris, Dr Ivon Asquith and, in the latest stages, x x Dr Martin Smith, who shared in the labour of checking the proofs. The editor is most grateful to all of them and also to the ladies who produced the typescripts, particularly to Mrs Audrey Munro who did most of this exacting work. The General Editors, Professor J. H. Burns and his successor, Dr J. R. Dinwiddy, not only kept watchful eyes on the whole enterprise but identified obscure allusions and made suggestions which explained some of Bentham’s cryptic remarks. Other colleagues in the University cleared up special problems, notably Professor D. W. J. Johnson, who obtained from Paris copies of French material; Dr Alice Carter, who enlisted the aid of the Netherlands History Seminar at the Institute of Historical Research in tracing Dutch references; and Dr Isabel de Madariaga, who identified from Russian sources two individuals mentioned in the first letter from Samuel Bentham to his brother in volume 4. Professor C. L. Drage of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, again provided translations of passages written in Russian, which were very few in these volumes. To those mentioned and to the many other scholars who willingly gave answers to individual queries, the editor is deeply grateful. University College London A.
