Panopticon – Observations on Holford's Report

For the hostility thus manifested towards Mr Bentham will
it be asked what can be the motives? – The motives are but
too evident. From Not to speak of the ill usage hard treatment
given to him as appears upon the face of his evidence to
which not a syllable of objection was ever made by any
so much as any one person out of so many who were
urged by so many motives to contest it from beginning to
end had it been possible to contest it the very circumstance
of that violation of the public faith which to the ruin of all
his prospects had been continued persevered in by so many
successive administrations – this those circumstance even independently
of the observations which he had been led to
make in print, though without general publication, in
the course of his endeavours to obtain justice, afford but
too natural and too sufficient a mode of accounting
for hostility on the part of all the several persons so circumstanced
an hostility not rendered the less real intense and determined by the
obligation which the spotlessness of his character imposed
upon them of abstaining from any open expression of it.
