Dumont, when he published his versions of Bentham, insisted upon this point. Bentham's intellectual position in this respect will require further consideration hereafter. All his prejudices and sympathies were those of the middle class from which he sprang.
The unsettled conditions which followed the peace in various European countries found Bentham other employment. In 1809 Dumont did some codifying for the Emperor of Russia, and in 1817 was engaged to do the same service for Geneva. He was employed for some years, and is said to have introduced a Benthamite Penal Code and Panopticon, and an application of the Tactics.
And " He rose and theatrically paced the floor. Herron prided himself upon his acute conscience and his nice sense of honor. He felt that here was a chance to wreak vengeance upon Dumont or rather, as he put it to himself, to bring Dumont to an accounting for his depravity.
People that have to work hard are usually honest and have sympathy and affection and try to amount to something. And if they are bad, why at least they can't hurt anybody but themselves very much, where a John Dumont or a Skeffington can injure hundreds thousands. Take your own case, Mr. Ranger. Your money has never done you any good. It was your hard work.
I know of but three people in Europe who could have written it: Madame de Stael, Talleyrand, or M. Dumont. Madame de Stael, though she has the ability, could not have got so plainly and shortly through it. Talleyrand has l'esprit comme un demon, but he could not for the soul of him have refused himself a little more wit and wickedness. Dumont has not enough audacity of mind.
Saladin, who was a stipendiary of the Duke of Orleans, and whose reputation would not grace any other assembly, is transformed into a Moderate, and talks of virtue and crime; while Andre Dumont, to the great admiration of his private biographists, has been signing a peace with the Duke of Tuscany.
The attorney resumed his writing, and pronounced in an audible tone each sentence as he committed it to the paper. "To my beloved brother Jaspar Dumont I give and bequeath the sum of fifty thousand dollars." These words, as intended, again fired Jaspar's passions. "Is there no remedy for this?" asked he, hastily. "No legal remedy," replied Maxwell, indifferently, as he continued his task.
The house-servants, with the exception of Hatchie, were all younger than Emily. Then, the statement was made in the will, and was, therefore, the statement of Colonel Dumont himself, for the genuineness of the will he did not call in question. In accordance with his general character, her father had manumitted her, and left her a competence.
In some places they arrested with the most barbarous caprice, even without the shadow of a reason. At Hesden, a small town in Artois, Dumont left the Mayor carte blanche, and in one night two hundred people were thrown into prison.
"I've eleven millions of the stock left about a hundred and twenty thousand shares. Gladys has fifty thousand shares how much have you got?" "Less than ten thousand. And I'd have had none at all if my mind hadn't been full of other things as I was sailing. I forgot to tell my broker to sell." Dumont was reflecting.
