422 HISTORY OF THE

marble monument, consisting of a base and pyramid, with the following inscription (surmounted by a medallion likeness of the deceased) : --

To

William Leggett,

the eloquent journalist,

whose genius, disinterestedness

and courage ennobled his profession --

who loved truth for its own sake,

and asserted it with most ardor

when weaker minds were most dismayed

^vith opposition :

who could endure no form of tyranny,

and raised his voice against

all injustice,

on whomsoever committed,

and whoever were its authors.
