Bentham (1748-1832), philosopher, economist and jurist, founded the doctrine of utilitarianism. He was deeply involved as a leader with the Philosophical Radicals, along with James and John Stuart Mill, and with them founded and edited the Westminster Review, which served as an outlet for their reformist ideas. Bentham died in London on June 6, 1832 and, in accordance with his wishes, his body was dissected in front of friends and his skeleton, fully clothed and provided with a wax head (the original was mummified), is kept in a glass case at University College, London, which he helped to found. A rare and important set.
