There was a plate on it with two bold capitals, and a full stop after each, thus; R. D. obiit May 11th, A.D. 1746. ætat 38. And above this plain, oval plate was a little bit of an ornament no bigger than a sixpence. John Tracy took it for a star, Bob Martin said he knew it to be a Freemason's order, and Mr. Tressels, who almost overlooked it, thought it was nothing better than a fourpenny cherub.

The time was fast approaching, when the gravestone, with the words "HIC OBIIT" chiselled upon it, would be placed at the head of all the other lines which rejected the grand opportunity of conveying education to the stoker.

"Roger Ingleton, son of the above-named Paul Ingleton, who died January 10, 1885."

Obiit quarta et decima. Feb. ann. Dom. MCCVIII. Requiescat in pace." Monk did not lose a single word.

Venit Lutetiam Parisiorum Aprili mense, Quarto Junii die supremum suum obiit." Her last resting-place will not be neglected. The eye of faithful affection watches over it as vigilantly as though the dust that sleeps within were conscious of his care. But lately a sentiment of exquisite tenderness suggested the addition of its most touching and appropriate embellishment.

Hic jacet regina Elizabetha, Edvardi quarti quondam regis filia, Edvardi quinti regis quondam nominatur soror: Henrici septimi olim regis conjux, atque; Henrici octavi regis mater inclyta; obiit autem suum diem in turri Londoniarum die secund. Feb. anno Domini 1502, 37 annorum aetate functa.
