# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Bentham, Jeremy

​Bentham, Jeremy (1748-1832).—Writer on jurisprudence and politics, b. in London, s. of a prosperous attorney, ed. at Westminster and Oxford, was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn, but disliking the law, he made little or no effort to practise, but devoted himself to physical science and the theory of jurisprudence. In 1776 he pub. anonymously his Fragment on Government, an able criticism of Blackstone's Commentaries, which brought him under the notice of Lord Shelburne, and in 1780 his Introduction to Principles of Morals and Legislation. Other works were Panopticon, in which he suggested improvements on prison discipline, Discourse on Civil and Penal Legislation (1802), Punishments and Rewards (1811), Parliamentary Reform Catechism (1817), and A Treatise on Judicial Evidence. By the death of his f. he inherited a competency on which he was able to live in frugal elegance, not unmixed with eccentricity. B. is the first and perhaps the greatest of the "philosophical radicals," and his fundamental principle is utilitarianism or "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," a phrase of which he is generally, though erroneously, regarded as the author. The effect of his writings on legislation and the administration of the law has been almost incalculable. He left his body to be dissected; and his skeleton, clothed in his usual attire, is preserved in University College, London.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Beckford, William

​Beckford, William (c. 1760-1844).—Miscellaneous writer, only s. of William B., Lord Mayor of London, the associate and supporter of John Wilkes, inherited at the age of 9 an enormous fortune. In these circumstances he grew up wayward and extravagant, showing, however, a strong bent towards literature. His education was entrusted to a private tutor, with whom he travelled extensively on the Continent. At the age of 22 he produced his oriental romance, Vathek (c. 1781), written originally in French and, as he was accustomed to boast, at a single sitting of three days and two nights. There is reason, however, to believe that this was a flight of imagination. It is an impressive work, full of fantastic and magnificent conceptions, rising occasionally to sublimity. His other principal writings are Memoirs of Extraordinary Painters (1780), a satirical work, and Letters from Italy with Sketches of Spain and Portugal (1835), full of brilliant descriptions of scenes and manners. B.'s fame, however, rests nearly as much upon his eccentric extravagances as a builder and collector as upon his literary efforts. In carrying out these he managed to dissipate his fortune of £100,000 a year, only £80,000 of his capital remaining at his death. He sat in parliament for various constituencies, and one of his two dau. became Duchess of Hamilton.

Corporal Casey.
When I was at home, I was merry and frisky, My dad kept a pig, and my mother sold whisky: My uncle was rich, but would never be aisey, Till I was enlisted by Corporal Casey. Och ! rub a dub, row de dow, Corporal Casey! My dear little Shelah, I thought would run crazy, When I trudg'd away with tough Corporal Casey.
I marched from Kilkenny, and as I was thinking On Shelah, my heart in my bosom was sinking But soon I was forced to look fresh as a daisey, For fear of a drubbing from Corporal Casey! Och ! rub a dub, row de dow, Corporal Casey! The devil go with him! I ne'er could be lazy, He stuck in my skirts so, ould Corporal Casey.
We went into battle, I took the blows fairly That fell on my pate, but they bother'd me rarely; And who should the first be that dropt! why, an' plaise ye, It was my good friend, honest Corporal Casey. Och! rub a dub, row de dow, Corporal Casey. Thinks I you are quiet, and I shall be aisey; So eight years I fought without Corporal Casey.

Dear Mary, that didst see thy first-born Son Go forth to die amid the scorn of men For whom He died, Receive my first-born son into thy arms, Who also hath gone out to die for men, And keep him by thee till I come to him. Dear Mary, I have shared thy sorrow, And soon shall share thy joy.

How sweetly bloom'd the gay green birk, How rich the hawthorn's blossom, As underneath their fragrant shade, I clasp'd her to my bosom! The golden hours, on angel wings, Flew o'er me and my dearie; For dear to me as light and life, Was my sweet Highland Mary.
Wi' mony a vow and lock'd embrace, Our parting was fu' tender; And, pledging aft to meet again, We tore ourselves asunder; But, oh! fell death's untimely frost, That nipt my flower sae early! Now green's the sod, and cauld's the clay, That wraps my Highland Mary.
O pale, pale now, those rosy lips, I aft hae kiss'd sae fondly! And clos'd for ay the sparkling glance, That dwelt on me sae kindly! ​And mouldering now in silent dust, That heart that lov'd me dearly! But still within my bosom's core Shall live my Highland Mary.

Oh, think on my fate! once I freedom enjoy d, Was as happy as happy could be, But pleasure is fled! even hope is destroy'd, A captive, alas! on the sea.

Hard, hard is my fate! oh, how galling my chain, My life's steer'd by misery's chart; And though 'gainst my tyrants I scorn to complain, Tears gush forth to ease my full heart. I disdain e'en to shrink, though I feel the sharp lash, Yet my breast bleeds for her I adore, While around me the unfeeling billows will dash, I sigh! and still tug at the oar.
How fortune deceives—I had pleasure in tow, The port where she dwelt we'd in view ​But the wish'd nuptial morn was o'erclouded with wo, And, dear Anna! I was burried from you. Our shallop was boarded, and I borne away, To behold my dear Anna no more; But despair wastes my spirits, my form feels decay. He sigh'd, and expir'd at the oar!
