Graham Wallas, Life of Place, pp. 5 sqq

36. Bain, p. 115 : In the Memoirs 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 medium of communication beetwen Brougham and Bentham (1811). — P. 129 : The expulsion of lord Cochrane from the House of Commons led to a vacancy for Westminster, and Mill was strongly in favour of proposing Brougham ; he wrote to Place to that effect. At the same time he guaranteed the soundness of Brougham's liberalism, by saying that he would make a declaration 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 Romilly are the Princess Charlotte’s two great heroes, whom she is continually trumpeting. If she were on the throne, Romilly would of course be Chantellor, Brougham either Minister, or in some high office. They are both ofthem more democratic than the Whigs ; and Erskine, having already been Chancellor, would probably have 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, whois 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 seem to have any other more immediate prospect for coming into Parliament, which, of course, I am sorry for.

The Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin, les extraits des n°° XIII, 5 fév. 1798; XVII, 5 mars 1798; XXV, 30 avril 1798. — Nous avons vu l'expression « a radical cure » employée en 1776 par Cartwright; elle l'avait été auparavant par Bolingbroke, Discourse upon Parties, letter 18. — Cartwright (Life and Corr. vol, IH, p. 190) dans un procès politique, en

1819, signale Pitt déclarant en 1780 « that he so much admired the beauties of the English constitution, that he 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 Reform (Works, vol. IT, pp. 290-291): « In all dealings where it is possible, the principles of radical economy prescribe three things ».

39. Ed. Rev., vol. XIV, p. 277, juill. 4809 : It cannot be doubted that there is at this moment... a very general desire for a more radical reform than would be effected by a mere change of ministry. — Vol. XX, p. 139, uill. 1812 : We are anxious not to be misunderstood, as recommending his alone : we do not scruple to maintain, that it would be insufficient, — and that a much more radical improvement, we should rather say, restoration of the Constitution, is required... those radical changes which frighten so many well meaning persons. — A un dîner de juin 1814, Brougham mentionne « the two radical doctrines of yearly elections and that the elective franchise should be extended to all who pay taxes». — Dans le Black Dwarf, journal publié par Wooler, ami de Bentham, je trouve les expressions « reformers » (3 sept. 1817, 11 nov. 1818), — « friends of reform » (29 janv. 1817), — « radical reformer » (1° juillet 1818, 18 nov. 1818).
