Untitled[edit]

Would someone rephrase this last sentence in the article: "He used the proceeds, among other things, to set up the first sunday school..." I find the clause "among other things" both (a)vague and (b)confusing. (a): Unless the "other things" can be specified (or hyperlinked-to!), the phrase is essentially useless -- it doesn't convey useful information. (b): the way this sentence is punctuated, it says that proceeds and things were used to set up the first sunday school. That seems to be an odd thing to state (what other things? tables and chairs?), so perhaps it was intended to say that proceeds were used to set up the first sunday school and other things. Which still leaves me curious as to what else the proceeds were used for.

Sorry I don't have sufficient knowledge about this topic to offer an article revision as to what it should say. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.16.9.110 (talk • contribs) . This was added in 2004.

Raikes Mausoleum[edit]

A neglected monument in the classical style to Raikes the Kingston-on-Hull banker (see the disambiguation page) stands on Welton Wold, Yorkshire. A photo thereof is available via Google Maps. 210.50.143.21 (talk) 08:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC) Ian Ison[reply]
