. Lancaster on the Nashua, picturesque and historical;. e He came to America. Haviug. after various experience of the Old World. Acquired an ardent love for the New, He settled in this town of Lancaster, And became a citizen of the United States. Deceased on the twenty-first of July, A. D. MDCCCXLIX. In the thirtieth year of his age. Here Steuart sleeps—and should some Scot, Wander this way. and pause upon the spot. He need not ask, now lifes poor show is oer. What arms he carried, or ^vhat plaid he wore; So small the value of illustrious birth. Brought to this solemn, last assay of earth: Vet unreproved, bis epitaph may say, A royal soul was wrapt in Steuarts clay, And generous actions consecrate his mound. More than all titles, though of kingly sound. This epitaph was written by Dr. Thomas \V. Parsons, the poet and translator of Dante. He wasan intimate friend of Dr. Robertson, and a frequent visitor at his Lancaster home. The remains of thelady whom Dr. Robertson was to marry, and who long survived him, rest in the same The Site of the Fourth Meeting House, aljout wliere Mrs. Scildii Wiltlcrs house now is, liut nearertlie road.
