This book is a long answer to a riddle that Bentam asked of Charles Long, namely: "What is that pecuniary resource of which the tenth part would be a tax, and would not be felt by anybody?" The answer afforded was, in substance: "An extension of the Law of Escheat whereby property would revert to the State in case an intestate died leaving only distant relations" . He maintained that, when once this alteration of the law had come into actual operation, there would be little or no feeling of disappointment among those excluded from succession . He had no wish to impair, in any degree, the liberty of a testator in regard to the free disposal of his estates by will where such disposition was in favour of children or near relations . Supply without burden, exclaimed Bentham, is victory without blood. But the plan presented grave difficulties; and it would have been no easy matter - if, indeed, at all possible - to convince the public that the suggested mode of raising supplies would be less burthensome or oppressive than a slight tax on collateral succession' (Atkinson, pp. 131-32).

Jeremy Bentham (17481832) is a British social philosopher, jurist, and considered to be one of the founders of utilitarianism and credited with the reform of English law and judicial procedure. Bentham's legal writings "have had a degree of particular influence upon the legislation of his own and various other countries comparable only to that of Adam Smith and his successors upon commerce (Sir James Stephen in "History of the Criminal law of England," vol. i, London 1883, p. 216).
