Nothing can more strongly shew the high estimation in which
Bentham was held by Lord Lansdown than the following Letter of
Lord L to the Duke de la Rochefaucauld
London 1st April 1790
Monsieur le Duc
Mr Bentham's name is already known to
you, at least Mr Dumont tells me that you read and
admired a short tract of his upon Political , and
you may have read another work of his noticed by Mr
du Mirabeau upon Usury. He has, since the new organisation
of the judicial establishment has been proposed in
the National Assembly, applied himself with incredible
diligence to sift the proposition to the bottom, and to suggest
another, from the best and purest motives possible. He has
for several years devoted his whole time to the study
of general principles, and is by an hundred degrees the
most capable person in this country to judge of the subject.
He has just finished, and sends by the mail of
