This twelfth volume of Correspondence contains authoritative and
fully annotated texts of all known letters sent both to and from
Bentham between July 1824 and June 1828. The 301 letters, most of
which have never before been published, have been collected from
archives, public and private, in Britain, the United States of
America, Switzerland, France, Japan, and elsewhere, as well as from
the major collections of Bentham Papers at University College
London Library and the British Library. In mid-1824 Bentham was
still preoccupied with the Greek struggle for independence against
Turkey, though his active involvement waned as he became
disenchanted with the behaviour of the deputies sent to London by
the Greek National Assembly. His international reputation was
reflected in his continuing contact with Simon Bolivar and
Bernardino Rivadavia in South America, and with John Quincy Adams,
John Neal, Henry Wheaton, and others in the United States, and his
forging of new contacts in Guatemala, India, and Egypt. In the
autumn of 1825 he visited France, where he stayed with Jean
Baptiste Say and La Fayette, and was feted by the French liberals.
Bentham made considerable progress drafting material for his
pannomion, or complete code of laws, and in particular for his
Constitutional and Procedure Codes, while John Stuart Mill edited
the massive Rationale of Judicial Evidence. Bentham became
increasingly active in the cause of law reform, and exchanged a
series of letters on the subject with Robert Peel, the Home
Secretary, and Henry Brougham. He maintained his friendships with
John and Sarah Austin, George and Harriet Grote, James and John
Stuart Mill, John Bowring, Joseph Hume, Francis Burdett, Francis
Place, and Joseph Parkes, re-established contact with the third
Marquis of Lansdowne, son of his old friend the first Marquis, and
made new acquaintances in James Humphreys, Sutton Sharpe, and
Albany Fonblanque.
