These sentences: Berrow was the third son of a curate and chaplain and was a Peterborough apothecary, or chemist. This was not unusual during this time of the early newspaper proprietors, who would sell medicines alongside their newspapers. Berrow would promote his elixir for dropsy and his powder for gout in his paper, much as newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch today often promote Sky Digital (UK) also appear, word for word, in the book Newspaper Journalism by Tony Harcup & Peter Cole, published by SAGE Publications Ltd, 2009. See page 47 of that book here. What's on the Wikipedia page dates to 2006, but cites no sources for the information supplied. The textbook dates to 2009, but may follow earlier editions by the same authors. What do you think? Should we delete the questionable passage? 80.42.148.6 (talk) 18:28, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an extract from the history of Berrow's Worcester Journal:

Harvey Berrow was the third son of the Rev Capel Berrow of Christ's College, Cambridge, for 40 years Perpetual Curate of Northill, Bedfordshire and chaplain to William Earl Cowper. His eldest brother, also called Capel Berrow, was an MA and became renowned for his theological writings. Richard Berrow, the second son, was an apothecary at Peterborough and his profession may well have had some connection with the fact that Harvey, like his predecessor, combined the dispensing of medicines with his printing and publishing.
