Description:

Sydney Smith said that `neither gods, men, nor booksellers can doubt the necessity of a middle-man between Mr. Bentham and the public'.

Synopsis:

In his introduction to these closely linked essays Professor Hart offers both an exposition and a critical assessment of some central issues in jurisprudence and political theory. Some of the essays touch on themes to which little attention has been paid, such as Bentham's identification of the forms of mysitification protecting the law from criticism; his relation to Beccaria; and his conversion to democratic radicalism and a passionate admiration for the United States.
