Bentham's life in the mid-1790s was dominated by the panopticon, both as a prison and as a network of workhouses for the indigent. The letters in this volume document in excruciating detail Bentham's attempt to build a panopticon prison in London, and the opposition he faced from local aristocratic landowners. His brother Samuel was appointed as Inspector-General of Naval Works and in September 1796 married Mary Sophia Fordyce.
Praise for the Correspondence of Jeremy Bentham, volumes 1-5
'These volumes provide significant additions to our understanding of Bentham's work in the first half of his life up to 1797. The insights they offer into Bentham's activities, ideas and method cast light on his philosophical and political positions in a seminal period in British and European history.'
