Bentham did not rush to publish his work. An abridged version appeared in French in 1816, and in English in 1824, but the complete work remained in manuscript form until its publication this year as part of an ongoing project, under the editorship of Philip Schofield of University College, London, to publish Bentham’s collected works.
边沁并没有急于发表他的工作。1816年他出版了一个删节法文版，1824年出版了英文版，但完整版一直只有手稿，直到今年才作为由伦敦大学学院的菲利普·斯科菲尔德（Philip Schofield）主编的边沁全集的一部分出版。
