Thus loved and honoured, he attained to eighty-nine years of age, and died, at Cypenham, near Windsor, Nov 13, 1804, of a mortification in his leg, originating in the seemingly slight circumstance of a Rasure against a chair, in the act of reaching a book from a shelf.
"A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume I."
Jacob Bryant

"The-Choir-Invisible"
Allen, James Lane
