This is the eighth volume of the Correspondence produced in the new
edition of The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham. Nearly
three-quarters of the letters included in this eighth volume of
Correspondence have not been previously published. During the years
covered by this volume, Bentham's Panopticon penitentiary scheme
was finally rejected by the government; and his efforts to secure
its implementation, and then to gain adequate compensation, form a
major and recurring theme. But the letters do much more than
complete the Panopticon saga. They give an insight into Bentham's
relations with his editors and followers Etienne Dumont and James
Mill, and provide information on the writing, editing, and in some
cases, printing and publishing of works on law, politics, religion,
and education. Just as important is the clear impression the
correspondence gives of his contacts, especially with the legal and
political reformers of the day. Prior to these new volumes, the
only edition of Bentham's works was a poorly edited and incomplete
one brought out within a decade or so of his death.
