Dumont: Kindness
of French press to
J. B. greater honour
conferred on him in
France than here.
Kind and magnanimous on every
occasion has been the treatmt. received by him at the
hands of the French nation. By M. Dumont of Geneva the
service rendered by the English, though living, was placed
on a higher level than that whh. had been rendered by the
French, though departed, Juries. By Chrestomathia the like
had been the result with respect to comparative altitude
in the scale of philosophical merit. Yet from the press
of France in speaking of Mr. Bentham has many
sentiments but that of kindness & admiratn. ever was manifested
itself. Greater — far greater is the honour bestowed upon him in that
foreign country employ than in his own: for having its root in the
nature of humans as in every other sensitive species, scarce
in any instances has this there proposition ever failed
to be exemplified.

Portrait by Pickersgill
Bust by David.
In the present Exhibitn. at Somerset House while among
the paintings was a portrait of Mr. Bentham for whh. the artist,
Mr. Pickersgill, has received from the Royal Institutn., in testimony
of his acknowledged preeminence, a present of 100 guineas,
among the Sculptures is a bust of the author of
Chrestomathia, a present to Mr. Bentham. A bust executed
& presented to the original: & by whom? by
M. David, a man acknowledged to be at
the head of that class of artists in France.

62.
The gratitude of his
country waits till the
day when his happiness
cannot be
increased by it.
The day on which the happiness of this manufacturer
of the commodity is no longer in a conditn. to receive
increase at the hands of gratitude, is the day which
the gratitude of his own countrymen waits to see,
before it manifests itself.

63.
J. B. never punished or
prosecuted.
Never has he yet been punished, nor so much
as prosecuted. In this negative shape has
manifested itself the gratitude testified towards him by his
own country's government.
