From :-
London Evening Post :-
Evening Mail :-
"JOHN HUNTER - The eminent surgeon and valuable man was suddenly taken ill, yesterday, in the Council-room of St George's Hospital. After receiving the assistance which could be afforded by two physicians and a surgeon, he was removed in a close chair to his own house, in Leicester-fields, where he expired about two o'clock"

From Lloyd's Evening Post :-
"Wednesday, John Hunter, Esq., Surgeon Extraordinary to the King and Surgeon-General to the Army. He was taken ill at St. George's Hospital and died in two hours"

From the Sun :-
"Yesterday died JOHN HUNTER, Esq., Surgeon Extraordinary to the KING, and Surgeon General to the Army. He was taken ill at St George's Hospital, and died in a few hours. The Profession has lost in him one of its principal pillars and brightest ornaments, and mankind may lament in him one of their best benefactors. The ardour and success with which he cultivated natural knowledge and philosophy, and rendered them subservient to his profession, has deservedly raised him to the first name. The monuments of industry and genius which he has left behind, will best speed his praise, and call for the gratitude of this and future ages"
