Collecting the relevant published work together in one place is an essential starting point for any serious investigation of American utilitarians and their critics. James Crimmins and Mark Spencer have made an expert selection from scattered sources of around 60 important articles and essays. These include treatments of Bentham by his friend John Neal, editor of The Yankee, and commentaries on John Stuart Mill gathered from rare American journals. There are also discussions of utilitarian jurisprudence by the great American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, and pieces by many other writers. This collection, with its substantial editorial introduction, will be vital reading for historians of ideas, scholars of philosophy and political thought, and any one else interested in the fate of utilitarianism in America.
