Against the background of the debates on the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789, to which he made significant contributions, Bentham worked first on producing a complete penal code, which involved him in detailed explorations of fundamental legal ideas, and then on his panopticon prison scheme. Despite developing a host of original and ground-breaking ideas, contained in a mass of manuscripts, he published little during these years, and remained, at the close of this period, a relatively obscure individual. Nevertheless, these volumes reveal how the foundations were laid for the remarkable rise of Benthamite utilitarianism in the early nineteenth century. 606 $aPhilosophers$zEngland$vCorrespondence 610 $aphilosophy 610 $ajeremy bentham 610 $autilitarianism 610 $alegal thought 610 $aBowood House 610 $aFrance 610 $aLondon 610 $aPanopticon 610 $aParis 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a192 700 $aBentham$b Jeremy$f1748-1832,$0123453 702 $aMilne$b Alexander Taylor 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213850103321 996 $aThe correspondence of Jeremy Bentham.
