[476] See, _e.g._, i. 83, where sympathy seems to be taken as an ultimate pleasure; and ii. 133, where he says 'dream not that men will move their little finger to serve you unless their advantage in so doing be obvious to them.' See also the apologue of 'Walter Wise,' who becomes Lord Mayor, and 'Timothy Thoughtless,' who ends at Botany Bay (i. 118), giving the lowest kind of prudential morality. The manuscript of the _Deontology_, now in University College, London, seems to prove that Bentham was substantially the author, though the Mills seem to have suspected Bowring of adulterating the true doctrine. He appears to have been an honest if not very intelligent editor; though the rewriting, necessary in all Bentham's works, was damaging in this case; and he is probably responsible for some rhetorical amplification, especially in the later part.

The following account of Bentham's writings may be of some use. The arrangement is intended to show what were the topics which attracted his attention at successive periods.
The collected _Works_, edited by Bowring, appeared from 1838 to 1843 in eleven volumes, the last two containing the life and an elaborate index. The first nine volumes consist partly of the works already published; partly of works published for the first time from Bentham's MSS.; and partly of versions of Dumont's redactions of Bentham. Dumont's publications were (1) _Traités de Legislation civile et pénale_ (1802; second edition, revised, 1820): [vol. i. contains _Principes généraux de Legislation_ and _Principes du Code civil_; vol. ii. _Principes du Code pénal_; and vol. iii. _Mémoire sur le Panoptique_, _De la Promulgation des Lois_, _De l'Influence du Temps et des Lieux_, and _Vue générale d'un Corps complet des Lois_]; (2) _Théorie des Peines et des Récompenses_, 1811, 1818, 1825; (3) _Tactiques des Assemblées déliberantes et Traité des Sophismes politiques_, 1816; (4) _Traité des Preuves judiciaires_, 1823; and (5) _De l'Organisation judiciaire et de la Codification_, 1823.
