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, his spirit rests with the saviour he loved and glorified. he died oct.r 24th 1840, aged 48 years. |
