I beg Mr Bentham's pardon. I was with within an
ace of misrepresenting him: and of misrepresenting him
and doing his plans a serious prejudice. Mr Bentham
is indeed a decla republican, and that a declared
one. But his republick is not for this
country with in this generation, not to speak of
the next. Accordingly neither to the prerogative
nor to Lords or Commons privileges would he
have the enquiry extend: such enquiry to put
a degree unlimited (he agrees with Mr Peel)
would be neither wise nor prudent, whatsoever
may be the difference between wise wisdom and
prudence: in more senses than one, they
would not bear it. He has his
Constitutional Code: a good half of it is already
in print. I have seen it. But it is not
for him a , it is as for
exportation: it is loaded
for exportation only: in particular for
the Spanish American market:
it is not for home consumption:
the word consumption
is for Mr Standard: he will
make as great for it an illustrious answer
out of it: unless the word
should seem preferable.
He feels what the word illustrious means
applied t'other day to the theorist it set the Standard in
a blaze.
