Hi All,
Does anyone have access to The Gentleman's Magazine dated 2nd January 1800?

I have an query regarding the obituary of a WILLIAM BENTON, Surgeon, of Barton-upon-Humber. The obituary runs to five paragraphs, most of which I have. Unfortunately my extract of the obituary, written in 1966, has some text missing at the end of the third paragraph.

I would be most grateful should anyone be able to supply the text between " censured by his friends for a disinterested.??????????

and " Possessed of a capacity uncommonly clear.........

Regards
