80. Bowring, vol. X,p. 450. Bentham disait a Bowring: i Hewill never wll-

lingly enter discourse with me. When he differs, he is silent. He is a character. Heexpects to subdue everybody by liis positivencss. Ilis manner of speaking is oppressive and overbearing. » Mais comme il sait pourtant se faire docile avec son maître ! Place lui a écrit une lettre où il se plaint de l'obscurité croissante des écrits de Bentham ; or Mill habite chez Bentham, et lui lit régulièrement à haute voix toutes les lettres de Place. Il écrit à celui-ci : * Your letter had nearly doue mischief. Keading it to him as he experts your letters,ashe sees them corne in, should beread, I stumbled on your saying.. when, observingwhat followed, 1 pretended tofind a difficulty in reading, and slipped the whole of what you said about the style. He never would hâve forgiven you, and to excite dislike were no good is to be done by it is evil for both parties. There is no one thing upon which he plumes himself so much as his style, and he would not alter it if ail the world were to preach to him till Domesday » (Graham Wallas, p. 85,1.

He had seen Mr. James Mill, who had assured him that my method of exemplification (the grand principle of the whole schemej could not possibly succeed ; and Mr. Fox now requires me to change my plan entirely, and issue my Political Economy in a didactic form ! Of course, I refused.

84. On se rendra compte de son influence, en son temps, par ce curieux passage de YEuropean Magazine, 7 mars 1826, cité par Graham Wallas, p. 189 : Ail those schemes which are now in progress for rendering Westminster the fountain of philosophy and civilization, as well as of liberty, can hâve originated with none other than Mr. Place. It is true that Jeremy Bentham is his senior by a year or two(!); but still we seeno reason why Jeremy should not be the pupil, and Mr. Place the instructor; and we are quite sure that of the other philosophera of Queen Square Place he is the manufacturer.
