The correspondence which took place between Bentham &
Lord Auckland on the subject of his the stock Note X scheme
Bentham to Lord Auckland
Queens Square Place Westminster 6th January 1800...
My Lord,
I take the liberty, of submitting to your Lordship's notice, a short
Paper, with no other introduction or pretence, than the reception which a very voluminous
unpublish'd Work, (Panopticon) from the same quarter, was honored with in its day. —
Of the Paper in question, the direct object is, to save Mr. Pitt, (if practicable and
necessary) the expenditure of any more of his attention, on a project which assumes the having
occupied some share of it. —
A collateral object is — that it may be seen, whether a pen, that has given
birth to another plan, which might be in some danger of being confounded with that in
question, and which is nearly in a state to be submitted, has not been sufficiently on
its guard against the delusions to which the Ground stands so much exposed, and in
which that project took its rise. —
Another channel, which I am by no means unacquainted with (not to
speak of personal friends) would have been more regular: but it is because I am so well
acquainted with it, that I am unwilling to rely upon it exclusively, or in the first
instance: one danger amongst others being, lest the proper view of the subject should be
eclipsed, by the irrelative idea of some miserable personal interest, as being at the bottom
