The ¢rst section shows that Jevons referred to Bentham's calculus but made it much simpler to enable the mathematical instrument to be introduced. The second section is devoted to his rejection of Mill's attempt to make utilitarianism a morally reasonable philosophy by introducing qualities of feelings. But I endeavour to show that avoiding Mill's interpretation did not mean that Jevons gave up on moral matters.

It aims at explaining the editorial choices that will be made, and underlining the difficulties faced by such an edition. Two kinds of difficulties are stressed: on the one hand, the singularity of Bentham’s conception of political economy implies questioning the status of this science in his utilitarianism (section I – Question of boundaries); on the other hand, I raise some more general methodological issues which confront each editor of texts from the past (Section II – Methodological Issues).
