25. Bowring, vol. X, p. 460: Bentham à Sir Francis Burdelt, mai 1811 :

lettre pour l'adjurer d'être présent au prochain débat parlementaire sur la question du Vice-Chancellorship. — Bowring, vol. X, p. 471 : Bentham à M ulford, 9 juillet 1812 : Sir Francis Burdett is still upon my hands, for a dinner ne has been wanting to give me, any time thèse six weeks,offering to hâve anybody I will name to meet me.

26. Bowring, vol. X, p. 404: Horne Tooke had a narrow mind. His library was narrow. A man may be judged of by his library. He was of great use to Burdett. He gave him some degree of intellectuality. — Memoirs of Henry Hunt, vol. I, pp. 509 sqq. : Mr. Tooke certainly made Sir F. Burdett a pappet to carry on his hostility against those ministers who had persecuted him, and aimed a deadly blow at his life... Sir Francis Burdett gloried in being thought a disciple of Mr. Tooke. — Sur les opinions politiques de Horne Tooke, Y. Stephens, life of Tooke, en particulier vol. I, pp. 501 sqq.; vol. II, pp. 463, 479.

27. Diversions of Purley, Part. II, chap. I. Rights of Man, vol II, p. 1, sqq. — Cf. Bowring, vol. X, p. 404 : Bentham, parlant de l'influence exercée par Tooke sur Burdett, continue: « Barde tt always travelled with some stuff of mine — but I could not get him to give up the common law. He thought it a beautiful person. What a sad thing it is that imaginary law should be confounded with real law. What authority has the maker of the common law ? » Bentham songe- t-il à Tooke et Burdett, lorsqu'il réfute (Art of Paching, p. 164) la théorie du retour aux origines : « As to the existing spécial jury System, my real quarrel with it is — not that it is a différent one from the original jury System, but that, in comparison with it, it is a bad one » ?
