I fail to see how my statement that Bentham's body is in a box at UCL is 'unsourced', so I've put it back in. If I must wander down there myself between lectures and take a picture to prove it, then so be it.Twitcher 07:58, 8 February 2010 (EST)

  • Bentham's preserved body is on public display at University College London (UCL), topped by a wax head [1]
