Notes on a possible Bentham manuscript: a mystery unresolved

Samuel Hollander*

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-wriring on the effects on profits of cultivating successive qualities of land'. In 1978 I made a search of the Ricardo Papers and no such document was to be found. This note reports the discovery in Trinnity College Library—and provides a trancription—of a document that may be the elusive item, though it is in James Mill's hand.
