This is probably in the wrong place. It forms part of a series of documents about his work prepared by his widow in vindiction of his work, which was tending to be written out of the history books by the mid nineteenth century. There is also a series of letters to the technical press she published which I shall be posting in due course, as well as the texts of his important patents on woodworking machinery. I aim to scan and add his widows biography of 1862, which is very hard to find in libraries and is not available on the Web. Maybe I ought to start a Samuel Bentham project page :) Apwoolrich 18:56, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
