"In 1815 Bentham printed, but did not publish, a large folding Table of the Springs of Action ... Two years later in 1817 the pamphlet was published with a cancel title-page (on the verso of which is a new quotation from Helvetius) and a leaf of contents with corrigenda and advertisements of the Plan of Parliamentary reform and Swear not at all" (Arnold Muirhead, "A Jeremy Bentham Collection", The Library, 5th ser., vol.1 (1947), p.19).
