26. Bowring, vol. X, p. 404: Horne Tooke had à narrow mind. His library was narrow. À 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 syq.: Mr. Tooke certainly made Sir F. Burdett a puppet 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, V. Stephens, life of Tooke, en particulier vol. I, pp. 501 sqq.; vol.

27. Diversions of Purley, Part. II, chap. I. Rights of Man, vol IL, p.1, sqq: — Cf. Bowring, vol. X, p. 404 : Bentham, parlant de l'influence exercée par Tooke sur Burdett, continue: « Burdett 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 hasthe maker of the common law ? » Bentham songe-t-il à Tooke et Burdett, lorsqu'il réfute (Art of Packing, p. 164) la théorie du retour aux origines : « As to the existing special jury system, my real quarrel with it is — not that it is a different one from the original jury system, but that, in comparison with it, itisa bad one »? ;
