Murray, esq:, Tavril 1807 :.… It is some satisfaction to me, that you and Jeffrey are converts to my opinion of his book on French judicature ; which, like all his other tréatises, contains many important observations, which may be taken in the very state in which he hasleftthem, but is still more valuable for its irresistible effect in setting the mind of the reader to work by the boldness and restlessnes of the writer’s speculations. It is the most effectual exercise in the art of legislative reasonings.

80: Bowring, vol. X, p. 450. Bentham disait à Bowring : « He willnever wil-

lingly enter discourse with me. When he differs, he is silent. He is a character. He expects to subdue everybody by his positiveness. His 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 done mischief. Reading it to him as he expects your letters, as he sees them come in, should be read, I stumbled on your saying.. when, observing what followed, I pretended to find a difficulty in reading, and slipped the whole of what you said about the style. He never would have 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 itif all the world were to preach to him till Domesday » (Graham Wallas, p. 85).

83. The personal life of George Grole (Londres, 1873). — On trouvera un exemple divertissant de son autoritarisme dans l’Auwtobiography de Miss Martineau, p. 169, lorsqu'elle raconte la difficulté qu'elle eut à publier son économie politique en action, en 1832 : I found Mr. Fox in a mood as gloomy as the day. He had seen Mr. James Mill, who had assured him that my method of exemplification (the grand principle of the whole scheme) 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.

81. On se rendra compte de son influence, en son temps, par ce curieux passage de l’European Magazine, 1 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 have originated with none other than Mr. Place. It is true that Jeremy Bentham is his senior by a year or two(l); but still we see no reason why Jeremy should not be the pupil, and Mr. Place the instructor; and we are quite sure that of the other philosophers of Queen Square Place he is the manufacturer.
