In 1779 Samuel Bentham had composed a broadsheet entitled 'Sir
William Petty's Plan for a System of Instruction relative to the
business of the Marine Department, in the same words as in the original;
but with the articles transposed; and marginal titles, supplemental articles,
and remarks added', which was printed but never published. The work
was based on a short piece by Sir William Petty (1623-87), political economist,
entitled 'What a Compleat Treatise of Navigation should contain', Philosophical
Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. xvii, no. cxcviii (1694),
657-9. A copy of the broadsheet is bound with other works of Samuel
Bentham in Naval Papers and Documents referred to in Naval Essays,
London, 1828 (British Library shelf-mark 716.d.28).
