translations activities
Bentham worked occasionally as a translator in the 1770s and 1780s. Though only one translation was published, his correspondence testifies to ongoing contacts with publishers for translations from the French and the Latin.
His own works were translated from English into French and Spanish during his lifetime (see the biographical notice on Dumont).
