Dr. Kennicott was the son of the parish clerk of Totness, once master of a charity school in that town. At an early age young Kennicott took the care of the school, and in that situation wrote some verses, addressed to the Hon. Mrs. Courtenay, which recommended him to her notice, and to that of many neighbouring gentlemen, who laudably opened a subscription to send him to Oxford. _The following inscription, written by Dr. Kennicott, is engraven on the tomb of his parents_: As Virtue should be of good Report, Sacred be this humble Monument to the Memory of BENJAMIN KENNICOTT, Parish Clerk of Totness, and ELIZABETH his Wife; The latter an example of every Christian Duty, The former animated with the warmest zeal, regulated by the best good sense, and both constantly exerted for the salvation of himself and others. Reader! soon shalt thou die also; And as a Candidate for Immortality, strike thy breast and say, “Let me live the life of the righteous,that my latter end may be like his.” Trifling are the dates of Time, where the subject is Eternity. Erected by their Son, B. Kennicott, D. D. Canon of Christ Church, Oxford.
