At the head of the curious table of universal knowledge, given in the Chrestomathia, we have Eudæmonics as an all-comprehensive name of which every art is a branch. Eudæmonics, as an art, corresponds to the science 'ontology. It covers the whole sphere of human thought. It means knowledge in general as related to conduct.
We need waste little time nowadays, I submit, in disposing of Encyclopaedic conceptions of College Education, conceptions that played a part in almost all educational schemes Bentham's stupendous Chrestomathia is the fearful example before the middle nineteenth century.
Bentham offered a site at Queen's Square Place, and though the scheme never came to the birth, it set him actively at work. He wrote a series of papers during his first year at Ford Abbey upon the theory of education, published in 1816 as Chrestomathia; and to this was apparently due a further excursion beyond the limits of jurisprudence.
His work is not therefore what the original is, a Chrestomathia of the best Arabian jurists a succedaneum for their complete works an illustration of Arabic legal literature. Again, he is often loose and vacillating in the use of the English words he has selected as corresponding to the technical phraseology of the Arabian jurists, and sometimes infelicitous in the selection of his English terms.
Bentham shows this apparatus at work, but does not expound its origin in any separate treatise. Enough information, however, is given as to his method in the curious collection of the fragments connected with the Chrestomathia.
