valour, all obstacles of art and nature, was slain in the moment of Victory, on the 13th of Sept. 1759.

The King and Parliament of Great Britain dedicated this Monument.

In the Area of Westminster lie the Remains of
ANN OF CLEVE,

SISTER OF THE DUKE OF CLEVE,

Who was contracted in marriage to Henry VIII. and received with great pomp on Blackheath, January 3, 1539; married to the King on the 9th; and in July following divorced, with liberty to marry again, but being sensibly touched with the indignity put upon her, she lived retired in England with the title of Lady Ann of Cleve, and saw the rival who supplanted her, suffer a worse fate; she survived the King 4 years, and died in 1557.

A still more unfortunate Queen lies near this last, viz.

ANNE, QUEEN of RICHARD III. and daughter of NEVIL, the GREAT EARL of WARWICK. This Lady was poisoned by that monster of cruelty her husband to make way for his marriage with ELIZABETH, daughter of his brother EDWARD IV. and sister of the unhappy youths he had caused to be murdered in the Tower, which marriage he never lived to consummate, being slain at the battle of Bosworth Field.

Here are also the remains of an old Monument of

SEBERT, KING OF THE EAST SAXONS,

Who first built this Church, and died, July, 616, and also of Athelgoda, his Queen, who died September 13, 615.

JOSEPH ADDISON.

Whoever thou art,

Venerate the memory of Joseph Addison,
In whom Christian faith, virtue and good morals,
Found a continual Patron;

Whose genius was shewn in verse,
And every exquisite kind of writing;
Who gave to posterity the best example
Of pure language,

And the best rules for living well,
Which remain and ever will remain sacred;
Whose weight of argument was tempered with wit,
And accurate judgment with politeness,
So that he encouraged the good,
And reformed the improvident,
Tamed the wicked,

And in some degree made them in love with virtue.
He was born in the year 1672,
And his fortune being increased, gradually
Arrived at length to public honours.

Died in the 48th year of his age,

The honor and delight of the British nation.

IN MEMORY OF

THOMAS THYNNE,

Of Longleate, in the County of Wilts, Esq.

Who was barbarously murdered on Sunday the 12th of February, 1682.

Upon the pedestal, in relief, the story of the murder is depicted; which murder was conspired by Count Koningsmarck, and executed by three Assasins, hired for that purpose, who shot this unhappy gentleman in Pall-Mall, in his own coach. The motive was to obtain the rich Heiress of Northumberland in marriage, who in her infancy had been betrothed to the Earl of Ogle, but left a widow before consummation; and afterwards married to Mr. Thynne, but being scarce 15, and her mother extremely tender of her, and withal desirous of her having issue, prevailed upon her husband, to suffer her to travel another year, before he bedded her, in which time she became acquainted with Koningsmarck at the Court of Hano

ver.

Whether she had ever given him any countenance is uncertain, but having no grounds, to hope to obtain her while her husband lived, he in this villainous manner accomplished his death; but the Lady detested the horrid deed, and soon after married the Duke of Somerset. At the time this happened a report was spread that Mr. Thynne, debauched a woman of family with £10,000 a year, and basely deserted her.

Whence came the saying, "That he had escaped misfortune, if he had either married the woman he had lain with, or lain with the lady he had married."

ST. PAUL'S.

The first Erected was to the Memory of
JOHN HOWARD,

OPENED TO PUBLIC INSPECTION A. D. 1796.

This statue is placed near the Iron-gate leading to the South Aisle. It is the work of the late John Bacon, R. A. and represents the Philanthropist in the act of trampling upon chains and fetters; while bearing in his right hand the key of a prison, and in his left, a scroll, on which is engraved, “ Plan for the improvement of Prisons and Hospitals." On the front of the pedestal is a bass-relief representing Mr. Howard, while visiting the interior of a prison, and conveying food, and clothing to its distressed inhabitants.

The words John Howard are cut in the Marble above the bass-relief.

On one side of the Pedestal John Bacon, Sculptor, 1795.

On the other side the following Inscription by the late Samuel Whitbread, Esq.

This extraordinary man had the fortune to be honored While living,

In the manner his virtues deserved:

He received the thanks

Of both Houses of the British and Irish Parliaments, For his eminent services rendered to his country And to mankind.

Our national Prisons and Hospitals, Improved upon the suggestions of his wisdom, Bear testimony to the solidity of his judgment, And to the estimation in which he was held.

In every part of the civilized world, Which he traversed to reduce the sum of human misery; From the Throne to the Dungeon, His name was mentioned with respect, Gratitude and admiration.

His modesty alone

Defeated various efforts which were made during
His life, to erect this Statue,

Which the public has now consecrated to his memory.
He was born at Hackney in the County of
Middlesex, Sept. 11, 1726.

The early part of his life he spent in retirement, Residing principally upon his paternal estate, At Cardington in Bedfordshire;

For which County he served the Office of Sheriff,
In the year 1773.

He expired at Gherson in Russian Tartary,
On the 20th January, 1790,

A victim to the perilous and benevolent attempt To ascertain the cause of and find an efficacious Remedy for the Plague.

He trod an open but unfrequented path to immortality, In the ardent and unintermitted exercise of Christain Charity.

May this tribute to his fame

Excite an emulation of his truly glorious acheivements.
