In the mid-1780s Bentham drafted his first sustained discussions of
political economy and public finance for Projet Matiere (itself
part of Projet d'un corps de loix complet). Those discussions are
now lost, but the corresponding marginal contents open this volume,
followed by three closely related appendices. The volume continues
with Defence of Usury, first published 1787, which was well
received, quickly translated, and established some reputation for
Bentham in political economy. In 1790, whilst preparing a second
edition, Bentham drafted the raft of additional materials included
here in five appendices. At the same time he began Manual of
Political Economy, an introductory handbook which he never
finished, while the surviving text appears here, supplemented by
seven appendices. In March 1793 Bentham reacted to press reports of
the Irish Budget by composing A Protest against Law Taxes, a
trenchant critique of the taxation of legal proceedings, and the
denial of justice to the poor, which was printed in 1793, published
in 1795, and extended in 1816, and which completes the volume.
