Church-of-Englandism and its Catechism Examined, printed in 1817
and published in 1818, was part of Bentham's sustained attack on
English political, legal, and ecclesiastical establishments.
Bentham argues that the purpose of the Church's system of
education, in particular the schools sponsored by the
Church-dominated National Society for the Education of the Poor,
was to instil habits of insincerity into the population at large,
and thereby protect the abuses which were profitable both to the
clergy and the ruling classes in general. Bentham recommends the
'euthanasia' of the Church, and argues that government sponsored
proposals were in fact intended to propagate the system of abuse
rather than reform it. An appendix based on original manuscripts,
which deals with the relationship between Church and state, is
published here for the first time. This authoritative version of
the text is accompanied by an editorial introduction, comprehensive
annotation, collations of several extracts published during
Bentham's lifetime, and subject and name indexes.
