A plain stone, which had formerly a brass effigy and an inscription, now gone, commemorates this abbot.

General Wolfe's monument separates the above chapel from the north aisle. It is very large, and the work of Wilton. The general is nearly naked, and is upon the whole a fine figure; perhaps the legs are too firmly placed for his exhausted situation. The soldier who supports him is full of earnestness and expression in relating the victory just achieved. That at the entrance of the lent has a good head; but the body is strangely faulty, and does not relieve as it ought. The angel offering the laurel had better have been omitted. The couch is badly drawn and poorly executed: but the old oak tree, hung with tomahawks and daggers is very excellent. The sorrowing lions at the feet of the sarcophagus are exceedingly characteristic, and well executed. We cannot say much for the bronze relief on the basement, though parts are well done. It represents the landing and scaling the rocks, previous to the action. The vessels cannot be worse.

To the memory of James Wolfe, major-general, and commander-in-chief of the British land forces, on an expedition against Quebec; who, after surmounting by ability and valour all obstacles of art and nature, was slain in the moment of victory, on the

13th of September, 1759

Immediately underneath Duppa's monument is a neat marble surmounted by ensigns, trophies of war, &c. to the memory of John Theophilus Beresford, who died in the year of his age, at Villa Formosa, in Spain, of the wounds received from the explosion of a powder magazine.

On the opposite side of the aisle is a tomb of rich marble (S. F. Moore, sc.) which has a pretty figure of History, but with bad drapery, holding a label inscribed, Schellenberg, Blenheim, Ramillies,
