*I wish to thank Professors Hugo Bedau, Philip Schofield and William Twining, as well
as two anonymous referees, for their many helpful comments on earlier drafts of this
paper. The responsibility for what follows is, of course, mine alone. I adopt the
standard system of referencing the Bentham archive at University College London: ‘UC’
= refers to University College archive, roman numerals refer to the box, and arabic
numerals refer to the folio (for example, UC ci.015).
