Two kings of Babylon, Kourigalzou and Nebuchadnezzar, and one king of Assyria, Esarhaddon, had made the attempt and failed. One of the three had commemorated his failure in an inscription to the following effect: "I have searched for the angle stone of the temple of Ulbar but I have not found it." Finally Nabounid took up the quest.
The occasion commemorated in the following verses one of those festive meetings with which tender-hearted Philadelphians are wont to brace themselves up for sorrowful partings called forth expressions of deep regret and cordial good wishes, in which many of our readers, we doubt not, will readily join: If from my quivering lips in vain The faltering accents strove to flow, It was because my heart's deep pain Bade tears be swift and utterance slow; For in that moment rose the ghosts Of pleasant hours in bygone years; And your kind faces, O my hosts!
On the 25th of February the colonists re-entered Granite House, and by means of the double cord, carried by an arrow to the threshold of the door, they re-established communication between their habitation and the ground.

A vast mound rose rapidly from these contributions, which, when completed, not only commemorated the march of the army, but denoted, also, by the immense number of the stones entering into the composition of the pile, the countless multitude of soldiers that formed the expedition.
The former proprietorship of the Bishops of Rochester is still commemorated in Rochester Row, Lambeth, on the site of a house which was retained when the exchange was made, for their use when they came to attend Parliament.
