GENERAL WOLFE.
(Vol. v., pp. 34. 136.)
As a sequel to the inquiries suggested in your pages respecting General Wolfe, permit me to contribute the inscription on the obelisk erected by Lord Dalhousie, in 1827, in a conspicuous part of Quebec, in honour of the General and of his brave opponent Montcalm.[9] I give it in the precise form in which it was obligingly communicated to me by the present Bishop of Quebec, in reply to my suggestions, a year or two ago, of another inscription, which I also send:
"Mortem Virtus communem
Famam Historia
Monumentum Posteritas dedit."
"Hujusce
Monumenti in memoriam virorum illustrium
WOLFE et MONTCALM.
Fundamentum p. c. Georgius Comes de Dalhousie,
