500 | # | # | $a This pamphlet describes and promotes the author's proposal for a 'National Monument, due to the gallantry of the Navy and Army, and to the honour of the Country' which was the subject of a proposal by Parliament in 1816 but never carried out. It includes a plan (for a site in Trafalgar Sqaure) and a south-west elevation (plate used as frontispiece). He dedicated the work to Lord Elgin. At the end of the pamphlet the author suggests that if anyone wishes to see the model of the proposed work (with numerous statues on the model executed in miniature in bronze) they should write to him at his address in Berners Street. The printer of the pamphlet was J. Moyes, Castle Street, Leicester Square. |
