=== Publications === * 1776. {{Wikicite |ref={{harvid|Bentham|1776}} |reference=''[[s:A fragment on government|A Fragment on Government]]''.}} ** This was an unsparing criticism of some introductory passages relating to political theory in [[William Blackstone]]'s [[Commentaries on the Laws of England]]. The book, published anonymously, was well received and credited to some of the greatest minds of the time. Bentham disagreed with Blackstone's defence of judge-made law, his defence of legal fictions, his theological formulation of the doctrine of mixed government, his appeal to a [[social contract]] and his use of the vocabulary of natural law. Bentham's "Fragment" was only a small part of a Commentary on the Commentaries, which remained unpublished until the twentieth century. * 1776. {{Cite wikisource|title=Short Review of the Declaration}} ** An attack on the United States Declaration of Independence. * 1780.

LL.D. on the discouragement opposed by the above restraints to the progress of inventive industry'' (3rd ed.). London: Payne & Foss. ** Bentham wrote a series of thirteen "Letters" addressed to [[Adam Smith]], published in 1787 as ''Defence of Usury''. Bentham's main argument against the restriction is that "projectors" generate positive externalities. [[G. K. Chesterton]] identified Bentham's essay on [[usury]] as the very beginning of the "modern world". Bentham's arguments were very influential. "Writers of eminence" moved to abolish the restriction, and repeal was achieved in stages and fully achieved in England in 1854. There is little evidence as to Smith's reaction. He did not revise the offending passages in ''[[The Wealth of Nations]]'' (1776), but Smith made little or no substantial revisions after the third edition of 1784. * 1817.
