[C103-526]

At top of sheet, Bentham has noted: 'Fallacy Table a case[?] for [...?] rebuke.'

PRIVATE

The want of sufficient time for adequate discussion when carried on orally in a numerous assembly, has to no inconsiderable extent been held out by experience in the character of a real and serious evil.

In the margin, Bentham has noted at this point: ' See this touched upon in Notes in J.B.s Radical Reform as supposed, those which are not yet published the 4 th Feb y 1821.'

Bentham's Radical Reform Bill, with Extracts from the Reasons, London, 1819. [As yet can't find this point 'touched upon'.]

To this evil, the Fallacy Table presents a remedy to an indefinite extent, a powerful, and to the whole of the extent, an altogether unexpensive remedy.

In the text, Bentham has noted at this point: 'speak afterwards of the […?] belonging to this evil. Of the […?] of the only strict[?] remedy, […?] of the […?] uttered to each speaker.

'Also of the peculiar nature of the evil, in respect of the indissoluble connection with the great good, the encrease of the mass of appropriate talent in the Assembly.'
