My grounds for my (strong) suspicion:

• This uncited addition was made in 2008-07-18 by a user that had also copied text from another book to Walter Wellman, see Talk:Walter Wellman#Removed copyrighted text
• Google Books search of text fragments always returns Encyclopedia of the Arctic, Volume 2, by Mark Nuttall published 2005 by Routledge. Examples: "wealthy and politically progressive family", "His father, also named Benjamin, was a Member of Parliament for three years", "Master’s (1861) degrees, and was admitted to the Bar but did not practice" and so on. -84user (talk) 00:11, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• While the book is not viewable online, I have confirmed the snippets you mention and enough others to make evidence of copying overwhelming. Accordingly, the article has been cleaned, with the last content prior to this addition restored. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
