12. Homilly à Dumont, 26 mai 1814. — Cf. la lettre de Bentham à son frère, mai 1793 (Bowring, vol. X, p. 291) : Whatmyenemies, if lhaveany, say of me, 1 am not told ; but the account my friends give of me is, that I am mad ; for which I make tliem a low bow : for madness y forsooth, being interprelrd, mcans virtue;el Church of Englandism^eic.,pp. x.x-xxi: When, ont of the multitude of his attendants, Jésus chose twelvefor his Apostles, hy the men in office he was declared to be possesscd by a Devil : by his own friends, at the same time, he was set down for mad. The like fate, were my conscience to hâve shewed itself more scrupulous than that of the officiai casuist, was before my eyes. (Bentham fait allusion où, étudiant à Oxford, il dut, contre fa conscience, adhérer aux 39 articles.) — lîentham jugera d'ailleurs Owen sévèrement (Bowring, vol. X, p. 570) : begins in vapour, and ends in smoke... His mind is a maze of confusion, and he avoids coming to particulars...
