This eleventh volume of Bentham's Correspondence contains nearly
three hundred letters, and covers the period from January 1822 to
June 1824. The letters, most of which have never before been
published, have been collected from archives, private and official,
as far afield as Athens and Bogota, as well as from the collections
of Bentham Papers at University College London and the British
Library. By the early 1820s Bentham had acquired an international
reputation, and corresponded with leading figures in Europe, the
United States of America, and many of the newly independent states
of Central and South America. His correspondents included such
notable figures as Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of South America;
Jean Pierre Boyer, President of Haiti; Jose da Silva Carvalho,
Minister of Justice in Portugal; Etienne Dumont, Bentham's Genevan
editor; Bernardino Rivadavia, first President of the United
Provinces of Rio de la Plata; Jean Baptiste Say, the economist; and
members of the provisional government of Greece. Bentham also
corresponded with numerous public figures and personal friends in
Britain, including Edward Blaquiere, James Silk Buckingham, Richard
Carlile, John Cartwright, Rowland and Matthew Davenport Hill, James
Mill, Samuel Parr, Francis Place, Leicester Stanhope, and Frances
Wright. As well as covering such matters as the launch of the
Westminster Review, and his first plan for the Auto-Icon, the
volume testifies to the growing importance to Bentham of his
writings on codification. Having received news that the Portuguese
Cortes had accepted his offer to draw up a complete code of laws,
he began to draft material for his Constitutional Code. He became
involved in promoting constitutional reform in Tripoli and Greece,
and was extensively involved in the negotiations surrounding the
Greek Loan raised in London in 1824.
