36. Bain, p. 115 : In the Mémoire of Bentham there is a long letter from Brougham to Mill, on Law Reform in America, meant for Bentham, and duly forwarded to him . This was the time when Mill was the médium of communication beetwen Brougham and Bentham (1811). — P. 129 : The expulsion of lord Gochrane from the House of Gommons led to a vacancy for Westminster, and Mill was strongly in favour of proposing Brougham ; hewrote to Place tothateffect. At the same time he guaranteed the soundness of Brougham's liberalism, by saying that he would make a déclaration in favour of the three principles put forward in Parliament, in 1809, by Burdett(1814;.— Cf. Bentham to Mulford, 9 juillet 1812 (Bowring, vol. X, p. 472). . . But what will interest you more, when you[come to know the little circumstances that are connected with it, is the mention made by the editor, in a paragraph marked as written by himself, of my name in conjunction with those of Brougham and Romilly. . . Brougham and Roroilly are the Princess Charlotte's two great heroes, whom she is continually trumpeting. If she were on the throne, Romilly would of course be Chancellor, Brougham either Minister, or in some high office. They are both of them more démocratie than the Whigs ; and Erskine, having already been Chancellor, would probably hâve been preferred for that office, to Romilly, by the Whigs, had they come into power when they were so near it. Romilly's is the only house I go to; and Brougham one of the very few, indeed, that I admit into mine. When the Earl of Dundonald dies, Lord Cochrane, who is his eldest son, will succeed to the peerage; and then it is understood to be certain that Brougham will succeed him as member for Westminster... Brougham does not seemto hâve any other more immédiate prospect for coming into Parliament, which, of course, I am sorry for.

1819, signale Pitt déclarant en 1780 a that ne so much admired the beauties of the English constitution, that ne wished to remove its defects, as he clearly perceived they were defects which altered the radical principles of the constitution, and it would not be innovation, but a recovery of the constitution to remove them ». — Cf. Burke, Speech on Economical Beform (Works, vol. III, pp. 290-291) ; « In ail dealings where it is possible, the principles of radical economy prescribe three things ».
