Spencer Left Curious Will
London January 13 Herbert Spencer’s will is described as curious. It places his body in a coffin with bogs hard cremated and ashes buried without religious ceremony. It leaves property to trustees for twenty one years to fund continuing publication of his descriptive autobiography and restricts rights to descendants of Queen Victoria. Proceeds from copyrights go to scientific societies. He instructs simultaneous British and U S publication of his autobiography and asks a biography of moderate size by David Duncan. He also bequeaths a watch and chain to Charles Holme and reiterates opposition to the metric system with a request to reprint his pamphlet for Parliament members.
