BENTHAM:- PRINCIPLES OF LEGISLATION
INTRODUCTION
Jeremy Bentham, the celebrated architect of the concept of utilitarianism, in his works 'The Theory of Legislation', and 'Introduction to the Principles of Morals & Legislation' not only enunciated his moral and legal philosophy but also provided a manual of instructions to the conscientious legislator, who in this philosophy, finds gleanings into the Sociology of law.
