Abstract

This article examines the utilitarian reformer Jeremy Bentham’s relationship with the Whig reformer Samuel Romilly between 1788 and 1818. For many years Bentham relied on Romilly’s assistance in promoting schemes of law reform, and viewed him as a fellow utilitarian. However, a series of events during the French Revolution and wars widened their political difference. After 1815 Bentham was more involved in radical politics and expected Romilly’s collaboration. Romilly’s indifference further stimulated Bentham’s breach with the Whigs. A study of their relationship casts new light on Bentham’s transition to democracy and the state of the Whig reformism during the period.
