Dumont à Bentham, 3 nov. 1807 (Bowring, vol. X, p

46. Dumont à Bentham, 31 juillet 1809 (Bowring, vol. X, p.451) ; James Mill à Bentham, 95 juillet (Bain, pp. 99-100) et 6 déc. 1809 (Bowring, vol, X, p. 454), et lettre non datée (Ibid.).

47. Art. VI. Application de la théorie de la législation pénale, par Scipion Bexon. L'article finit par un éloge de Bentham, p. 101 sqq. : Imperfect as his success has necessarily been (membre de phrase sans doute ajouté par Jeffrey), we have no hesitation in saying, that he has done more to elucidate the true grounds of legislative interference, than all the jurists who had gone before him. — Encore Jeffrey a-t-il supprimé des citations de Bentham, adouci l'éloge : d’où indignation de Bentham, de ses amis, de James Mill lui-même (Bowring, vol. X, pp. 452 sqq.). Brougham écfivait cependant à Mill, 10 déc. 1809 : The praise of Bentham seems to me excessive, and not very consistent with the tone of the former article, though perhaps less extravagant than a passage in your first South American article. The adoption of his neology, l must enter my decided protest against. It is possible you might not be aware that forthcomingness and non-forthcomingness are unknown in all writings on law, except his own; but such words as semi-publie you must be convinced are Of his mint. (Bain, p. 106.)

48. Bain, p. 120 : Swear not at all : containing an Exposure of the Needlessness and Mischievoussness, as well as Anti-Christianity, of the Ceremony of an Oath : a View of the Parliamentary Recognition of its Necdlessness, implied in the practice of both Houses ; and an Zndication of

the Unexceplionable Securities, by which whatsoever practical good pur-

poses the ceremony has been employed to serve, would be more effectually provided for. Together with Proof of the open and persevering Contempt of Moral and Religious Principle, perpetuated by it, and rendered universal, in the two Church-of-England Universities, more especially in the University of Oxford. (Bowring, vol. V. pp. 187-230.)

49. En 1814, Mill revise et prépare pour l'impression : A Table of the Springs of Action Showing the several Species of Pleasures and Pains of which Man’s Nature is susceptible; together with the several species of Interests, Desires, and Motives respectively corresponding to them; and the several sets of Appellatives, Neutral, Eulogislic, and Dyslogistie, by which each species of Motive is wont to be designated : to which are added, Explanatory Notes and Observations, etc., (Bowring, vol. I, pp. 195-220). — L'ouvrage paraîtra en 1817.
