I remember one thing that really stuck in my mind about Bentham. It was when some guy visited him and Bentham was jogging (!). This was, of course, in the mid-nineteenth century, before physical fitness bacame an obsession.
He was certainly ahead of his time in so many ways.
That is pretty amazing – I'm just trying to picture it in my head. One to compare with Herbert Spencer wearing his modern one-piece knitted unisex leotard out for a stroll in Hyde Park.

Of course, anyone can mess around with Wikipedia, as I've discovered.
