I spent some Days in viewing the Monuments in Westminster Abbey, & taking off some of the Inscriptions in a Journal. amongs the rest I viewed with particular Attention, a magnificent Monument of white Marble erected to the Memory of that Gallant Admiral, your Uncle, Sir Peter Warren: done by the Masterly Hand of Rubiliac; close by the Wall is a large flag hanging to a Flag-Staff, & spreading in natural Folds behind the whole Monument. Before isa fine Figure of Hercules placing Sir Peter's Bust on its Pedestal ; & on the other Side is a Figure of Navigation, with a Laurel-Wreath in her Hand, gazing on the Bust with a Look of Admiration ; behind her a Cornu-Copia pours out Fruit, Corn, Money, a Fleece && And byit is a Cannon and a lable folding very naturaly over an Anchor & many other Decorations.
