Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Benthamiana: Or Select Extracts From the Works of Jeremy Bentham; With an Outline of His Opinions on the Principal Subjects Discussed in His Works It is not even a classified collection of extracts for the purpose of exhibiting a series of illustrations of the author´s method of treating the various subjects on which his versatile pen was for sixty years engaged. It would convey an erroneous impression, to say that the nature of the subject, and the justice of the reasoning, have been in no case the motive for selecting a particular passage; but the qualities which the editor has generally sought, have been rather in the method of announcing them, than in the opinions promulgated. It has been remarked by several of the critical writers of the day, whose opinions deserve and receive the highest respect, that among Bentham´s writings there are numberless passages, of which the brilliant wit, the lively illustration, the spirited eloquence, and the expressive dearness, are not excelled in the works of any writer of the English language. It was conceived that, among those who support his opinions, as well as among those who are either indifferent or hostile to them, there might be many to whom a selection of those passages in Bentham´s works which appear to be chiefly distinguished for merit of a simply rhetorical character, might be considered no unwelcome contribution to the literature of the country. It is often in the midst of long and arduous processes of reasoning, or in the course of elaborate descriptions of minute practical arrangements, demanding from the reader severe thought and unflagging attention, that the most pleasing illustrations of playfulness, or pathos, or epigrammatic expression, are imbedded. He was himself singularly careless in the distribution of these portions of his intellectual riches. His mission he considered, especially in his later years, to be that of an instructor and improver; and the flowers which, equally with more substantial things, were the produce of his vigorous intellect he looked upon as scarcely worthy of passing attention, and deserving of no more notice than to be permitted to grow wherever the more valued objects of his labours left them a little room.
