Inscription(s)

to the memory
of the very reverend
HENRY RICHARD DAWSON, A.M._M.R.I.A.
dean and ordinary of st. patrick's.
this statue has been erected
by friends who loved and admired him.
as a minister of the church "his record is on high".
he faithfully testified the gospel of the grace of god,
"teaching and preaching jesus christ"
and he exhibited in a useful and devoted life
the practical influence of the truth he preached.
to his exertions the institutions of the deanery
for relief of the destitute and education of the young
owe their origin and prosperity;
and although the cultivation of the literature and antiquities
of his native country was a recreation,
yet his happiness was found in labours for the poor.

his mortal remains are deposited in this cathedral,
which he assited at his own expense
to beautify and adorn.

his spirit rests with the saviour he loved and glorified.

he died oct.r 24th 1840, aged 48 years.
