and Warnkoenig in the _Zeitschrift fuer
Rechtswissenschaft_. Beneke (1798-1854) was opposed to the Hegelian
tendencies of his time, and much influenced by Herbart. See Ueberweg's
_History of Philosophy_ (English translation, 1874, ii. 281, etc.) and
the account of Bentham in Robert von Mohl's _Staatswissenschaften_, etc.
(1853), iii. 595-635.

A great mass of Bentham MSS. belongs to University College, London. They
are contained in 148 boxes, which were examined and catalogued by Mr. T.
Whittaker in 1892. A few of these contain correspondence, part of which
was printed by Bowring. Others are the manuscripts of published works.
Some are upon the same subjects as the published works, and others refer
to topics not included in his publications. Besides the _Deontology_
manuscripts and a fragment upon 'Political Deontology,' there is a
discussion of the means of suppressing duels, an argument against the
legal punishment of certain offences against decency, and a criticism of
the gospel narrative similar to _Not Paul_, etc. I have not thought it
necessary to examine these fragments after reading Mr. Whittaker's
report. Bentham's principles are sufficiently stated in his published
works; and the papers which have been reposing in the cellars of
University College can have had no influence upon the world. There is
another large collection of MSS. in the British Museum from the papers
of Bentham and his brother, Sir Samuel. Ten folio volumes contain
correspondence, much of it referring only to Sir Samuel. A long
correspondence upon the acquisition of the 'Panopticon' land is
included. Another volume contains many of Bentham's school and college
exercises. There are also the manuscripts of the _Nomography_, _Logical
Arrangements_, etc. This collection was used by Bowring and by Lady
Bentham in the life of her husband.
