51-600). A tract on the
_Leading Principles of a Constitutional Code_ (ii. 267-274) appeared in
the _Pamphleteer_ in 1823. The first volume of the _Constitutional
Code_, printed in 1827, was published with the first chapter of the
second volume in 1830. The whole book, edited by R. Doane from papers
written between 1818 and 1832, was published in 1841, and forms volume
ix. of the _Works_. Doane also edited _Principles of Judicial Procedure_
(ii. 1-188) from papers written chiefly from 1820 to 1827, though part
had been written in 1802. Several thousand pages upon this subject--the
third part of the original scheme--were left by Bentham at his death.

During his last years Bentham also wrote a _Commentary on Mr. Humphrey's
Real Property Code_, published in the _Westminster Review_ for October
1826 (v. 387-416); _Justice and Codification Petitions_ (v. 437-548),
printed in 1829; _Jeremy Bentham to his Fellow-Citizens in France on
Houses of Peers and Senates_ (iv. 419-450), dated 15th October 1830;
_Equity Dispatch Court Proposals_ (iii. 297-432), first published in
_Works_ and written from 1829 to 1831; _Outline of a Plan of a General
Register of Real Property_ (v. 417-435), published in the Report of the
Real Property Commission in 1832; and _Lord Brougham Displayed_ (v.
549-612), 1832.

The _Deontology_ or _Science of Morality_ was published by Bowring in
two vols. 8vo in 1834, but omitted from the _Works_, as the original
edition was not exhausted. The MS. preserved at University College,
London, shows that a substantial beginning had been made in 1814; most
of the remainder about 1820. The second volume, made, as Bowring says,
from a number of scraps, is probably more 'Bowringised' than the first.

Dumont's _Traites_ were translated into Spanish in 1821, and the _Works_
in 1841-43. There are also Russian and Italian translations. In 1830 a
translation from Dumont, edited by F. E. Beneke, as _Grundsaetze der
Civil- und Criminal-Gesetzgebung_, etc., was published at Berlin. Beneke
observes that Bentham had hitherto received little attention in Germany,
though well known in other countries. He reports a saying attributed to
Mme. de Stael that the age was that of Bentham, not of Byron or
Buonaparte. The neglect of Bentham in Germany was due, as Beneke says,
to the prevalence of the Kantian philosophy. Bentham, however, had been
favourably noticed in the _Hermes_ for 1822, and his merits since
acknowledged by Mittermaier
