Notes on a Possible Bentham Manuscript: A Mystery Unresolved

Samuel Hollander

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 1996, vol. 20, issue 5, 623-35

Abstract: In the Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo (Volume X), Piero Sraffa noted that the Mill-Ricardo case of the Ricardo Papers deposited at Cambridge contained 'a paper probably in Bentham's hand-writing on the effects on profits of cultivating successive qualities of land.' In 1978, the author made a search of the Ricardo Papers and no such document was to be found. This note reports the discovery in Trinity College Library--and provides a transcription--of a document that may be the elusive item, though it is in James Mill's hand.
