The date of Mr Bentham's Proposal of which the
article in question forms a part, is considerably prior
to the application made of it in both those instances.
Seeing it universally approved and applauded in these
instances it would be matter of no small mortification
to him to find it rejected in an instance in which at
his own risk he has shewn so much anxiety to see it
introduced. Should the Inventor of this species of
security be debarred the faculty of purchasing for
valuable consideration a premium which so many
others in similar situations are called upon to receive
gratis, it would be a modern instance of the Sic vos
non vobis , and surely rather an extraordinary one.

Will it be seriously apprehended that under the
influence of such a preservative Prisoners may not
die fast enough in the Prison ? Should no mortal
ever die there Government know the worst: two or three
thousand a year is not too much to pay for a receipt
for immortality.
