Review of Humphrey
§. J.B. and H: language
as to Judges &
This difference in the course taken by the two reformists
was the natural mode of their the difference in their respective practices different practices or events
2
Cause of the difference
Mr Bentham having from the first withdrawn himself it
from the world took advantage of the practice to declare in relation
to every touched upon him, his opinions and sentiments without
reserve. Knowing that with the of his Panopticon plan
for prisoners and paupers every thing that in the way of reform or
improvement he could propose was repugnant to the particular
interest of the ruling few, he saw that all attempts at conciliation
would necessarily be formless. He therefore at an early in the lasting period of his
labours threw away the scabbard, and applied sword within
reserve to whatsoever adversary course in his way
Becoming as was this conduct on the point of Mr Bentham
becoming because rendered so by an unhappy and in ble
necessity not less becoming has been the directly opposite conduct on
the part of Mr Humphreys. In so far as the nature of the
case admitted, every thing he says is impersonalized: the reproach
so justl richly merited by all has been ured by him
from falling on any one.
