_The Rev. W. Adams_ (Vol. iii., p. 140.).--The age of Mr. Adams at his
death was thirty-three. His tomb is in the churchyard of Bonchurch--a
simple coped coffin; but the cross placed upon it is, in allusion to his
own beautiful allegory, slightly raised, so that its shadow falls--
"Along the letters of his name,
And o'er the number of his years."
I have a pretty engraving of this tomb, purchased at Bonchurch in 1849, and
your correspondent may perhaps be glad to adopt the idea for an
illustration of the book he mentions.
