8) appeared in 1802; and _A Plea for
the Constitution_ (on transportation to New South Wales) (iv. 249-284),
in 1803. Closely connected with these are _Poor-laws and Pauper
Management_ (viii. 358-461), reprinted from Arthur Young's _Annals_ of
September 1797 and following months; and _Observations on the Poor Bill_
(viii. 440-459), written in February 1797, privately printed in 1838,
and first published in the _Works_.

About 1802 Bentham returned to jurisprudence. James Mill prepared from
the papers then written an _Introductory View of the Rationale of
Evidence_, finished and partly printed in 1812 (see _Works_, x. 468 _n._
and Bain's _James Mill_, 105, 120). Dumont's _Traite des Preuves
judiciaires_ (1823) was a redaction of the original papers, and an
English translation of this appeared in 1825. The parts referring to
English Law were omitted. The _Rationale of Evidence_ (5 vols. 8vo,
1827), edited by J. S. Mill, represents a different and fuller redaction
of the same papers. It is reprinted in vols. vi. and vii. of the _Works_
with the _Introductory View_ (now first published) prefixed. To the same
period belongs _Scotch Reform_, with a _Summary View of a Plan for a
Judicatory_, 1808 (second edition 1811, v. 1-60).

After 1808 Bentham's attention was especially drawn to political
questions. His _Catechism of Parliamentary Reform_ (iii. 433-557),
written in 1809, was first published with a long 'introduction' in the
_Pamphleteer_ for January 1817. Bentham's _Radical Reform Bill, with
explanations_ (iii. 558-597) followed in December 1819. _Radicalism not
dangerous_ (iii. 598-622), written at the same time, first appeared in
the _Works_ (iii. 398-622). _Elements of the Art of Packing as applied
to Special Juries, especially in Cases of Libel Law_ (v. 61-186),
written in 1809, was published in 1821. _Swear not at all_ (v. 188-229)
(referring chiefly to Oxford tests), written in 1813, was published in
1817. _The King against Edmonds_ and _The King against Wolseley_ (v.
239-261) were published in 1820. _Official Aptitude minimized; Official
Expense limited_ (v. 263-286), is a series of papers, first collected in
1831. It contains a _Defence of Economy against Burke_, and a _Defence
of Economy against George Rose_, both written in 1810, and published in
the _Pamphleteer_ in 1817, with _Observations_ on a speech by Peel in
1825, and _Indications respecting Lord Eldon_. The two last appeared in
1825. Connected with these
