political writings is the _Book of Fallacies_ (ii. 375-488), edited by Bingham in 1824, from the 'most unfinished of all Bentham's writings.' Allusions seem to show that the original MSS. were written from 1810 to 1819. It was partly published by Dumont with the _Tactique, etc._ Bentham, during this period (1808-1820), was also led into various outlying questions. _The Pannomial Fragments_, _Nomography_, and _Appendix on Logical Arrangements employed by Jeremy Bentham_ (iii. 211-295) were first published in the _Works_ from MSS. written from 1813 to 1831. With the _Chrestomathia_ (viii. 1-192), first published in 1816, are connected fragments upon 'Ontology,' 'Language,' and 'Universal Grammar' (viii. 193-358), first published in _Works_ from fragments of MSS. of 1813 and later. George Bentham's _Outline of a New System of Logic_ was partly founded upon his uncle's papers. Bentham at the Ford Abbey time (1814-1818) was also writing his _Church of Englandism and its Catechism examined_, 1818. The _Analysis of the Influence of Natural Religion upon the Temporal Happiness of Mankind_, by Philip Beauchamp, edited by George Grote, appeared in 1822; and _Not Paul but Jesus_, by Gamaliel Smith, in 1823. Francis Place helped in preparing this at Ford Abbey in 1817 (Mr. Wallas's _Life of Place_, p. 83). _Mother Church of England relieved by Bleeding_ (1823) and the _Book of Church Reform_ (1831) are extracted from _Church of Englandism_. Bowring did not admit these works to his collection. In his later years (1820-1832) Bentham began to be specially occupied with codification. _Papers upon Codification and Public Instruction_ (iv. 451-534) consist chiefly of letters, written from 1811 to 1815, offering himself for employment in codification in America and Russia, and first published in 1817. In 1821 appeared _Three Tracts relating to Spanish and Portuguese Affairs, with a Continual Eye to English ones_; and in 1822 _Three Letters to Count Toreno on the proposed Penal Code_ (in Spain) (viii. 460-554). A short tract on _Liberty of the Press_ was addressed to the Spanish people in 1821 (ii. 275-299). _Codification Proposals_ (iv. 535-594) appeared in 1823, offering to prepare an 'all-comprehensive code of law' for 'any nation professing liberal opinions.' _Securities against Misrule addressed to a Mahommedan State, and prepared with a special Reference to Tripoli_, written in 1822-23, was first published in the _Works_ (viii. 5
