Without wishing to decry the merits of other defigns, I am humbly of opinion that a LIVING MONUMENT will be the most preferable; which, fhall confift of thofe children, under a certain age, whofe fathers have fallen, or fhall hereafter fall, in the fervice of their country. My plan is this. After a fuitable place for their reception is erected (whether by Government or by fubfcription), let a fund, by fimilar means, be established for their fupport, &c. where, in habits of piety, induftry, and moral order, they may be educated, either for ufeful trades, or for the army and navy, as fhall be deemed moft proper. Nor would the adoption of this plan preclude the beautiful, the grand, and fublime, productions of Architecture and Sculpture. Within a fpacious circular hall, or rather chapel, a number of niches may be formed to receive the bufts of our martial heroes, and under them a mural table of marble, on which to record their particular atchievements. Such monumenta being fheltered from the weather, and visited as in a fanctuary, would be far more durable than any column, arch, or bridge, that could *Why fhould the compliment be confined to the naty ́? 1800. be conftructed: and, on furveying.. the tout enfemble, together with its happy LIVING appendages, a gene rous contributing publick may exclaim, "Exegi monumentum ære perennius, Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens Poffit diruere, aut innumerabilis Annorum feries, et fuga temporum." I know, Mr. Urban, that the gates of the Foundling Hofpital are open to children of flain foldiers and failors, as well as to thofe pitiable fruits of thame who know not the authors of their being: but I cannot help thinking, that two objects are thus blended which ought to be kept totally diftin&t. The British failor and the British foldier are characters, methinks, whofe fatherlefs children deferve fo highly the peculiar protection of their country, as to call for an a fylum folely inftituted for them. No objects, furely, "have a better claim to admittance into a national eftablishment, whether the merit or the neceffity of the cafe be confidered. If fuch children be not entitled, by their own distress and their father's fervices, to peculiar protection, no fuch cafe can exift." Is it faid, that a child of this defcription is not abfolutely deftitute? That it has ftill a parent in its living mother?" Let Langhorn, with a trifling alteration, anfwer this: Stock. B Red.
