[1] The series is being published under the auspices of the Bentham Project, based in the Faculty of Laws at University College London, whose library holds the majority of Bentham's surviving manuscripts.
[2] Since 2010 the Project has also run Transcribe Bentham, a project for transcribing Bentham's manuscripts through crowdsourcing, the output of which is intended, once edited, to appear in future Collected Works volumes.
[3] The initial estimate was that the series would eventually run to approximately 38 volumes, but this figure has since risen to a projected total of 80.
The first five volumes of Correspondence, originally published by Athlone Press, were reissued with minor corrections in 2017 by UCL Press, both in hard copy and in open access electronic formats.
Since the publication in February 2022 of the 35th volume in the edition, Panopticon versus New South Wales, and Other Writings on Australia,[5] the Collected Works has been published by UCL Press, which makes available books in hardback, paperback, and open access PDF formats.
