In memory of the Honourable Major General Charles Monson, who died at Truro of a decline, January llth, 1808, in the prime of life, and at the dawn of prosperous fortune. His heart was generous, his mind amiable, and universally endearing his social worth.—The friends who trace this memorial will drop a tear of sorrow on his grave, and the strangers who pity his fate should heave a sigh of apprehension at their own. From A Tablet In Lostwithiel Church, Cornwall.

There is more true charity in one kind tear that falls in private.for the sorrows and sufferings of others, than in a thousand guineas proudly ushered into the notice of the world in all the pomp and parade of public contribution.
