In his ''Deontology'' (from the Greek ''το δέον'', meaning 'what ought to be'), Bentham explored the topic of private ethics. In this work, Bentham analysed what, according to the principle of utility, constituted virtue and vice, and how they operated in the relationship between interest and duty, and gave examples of how the individual could promote their own happiness while increasing (or at least refraining from reducing) that of others.

Box 15 contains material mostly pertaining to Bentham's writings on deontology, and political deontology.
In his Deontology (from the Greek το δέον, meaning 'what ought to be'), Bentham explored the topic of private ethics. In this work, Bentham analysed what, according to the principle of utility, constituted virtue and vice, and how they operated in the relationship between interest and duty, and gave examples of how the individual could promote their own happiness while increasing (or at least refraining from reducing) that of others. Bentham did not publish this work during his lifetime, but it exists in manuscript. A version of the text, edited and prepared by John Bowring, was published in the 1838-43 edition of Bentham's works, but this is essentially a paraphrasing of Bentham's text, with additions by Bowring. Folios 323 to 592 from this box of material are in Bowring's hand, and are from his version of the text.
The remainder of this box of material relates to 'political deontology', which is distinct from the 'private deontology' discussed above. Bentham wrote manuscripts on political deontology largely in 1816 and 1817, but also in later years up until his death. This work appears to have been unfinished, and has not been published.
