BY

"The tower where criminals complain,

And fettered captives weep in vain,

Are thy memorials in the skies,

The portals of thy paradise.

Thine was an empire o'er distress,

Thy triumph of the mind,

To burst the bonds of wretchedness,

The friend of human kind.

Thy name, through every future age,
By bard, philanthropist, and sage,
In glory shall be shrined."

"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I
was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me:
I was in prison, and ye came unto me.' "-Matthew, xxv. 34-36.

JOHN HATCHARD AND SON, PICCADILLY.
