Inscription(s)

Samuel Morley
Member of Parliament for this City
from 1868 to 1885
To preserve for their children
the memory of the face and form
of one who was an example
of justice generosity and public spirit.
this statue was given
by more than 5000 citizens of Bristol. 		I believe that the power
of England is to be reckoned
not by her wealth or
armies, but by the purity
and virtue of teh great
mass of her population
Samuel Morley
