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. The letters in this volume document Bentham's meeting and friendship with the Earl of Shelburne (later the Marquis of Lansdowne), which opened a whole new set of opportunities for him, as well as his extraordinary journey, by way of the Mediterranean, to visit his brother Samuel in Russia. 606 $aPhilosophers$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01060746 606 $aPhilosophers$zGreat Britain$vCorrespondence 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aPersonal correspondence. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophers. 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a192 700 $aBentham$b Jeremy$f1748-1832.$0123453 702 $aBurns$b J.
