Little Ilford
In Memory of
Smart Leithceulier, Esq.
A Gentleman of polite literature and elegant taste; an encourager of art and ingenious artists; a studious promoter of literary inquiries; a companion and friend of learned men; industriously versed in the science of antiquity; and richly possessed of the curious productions of Nature: but who modestly desired no other inscription on his tomb than what he had made the rule of his life:—
“To do justly—to love mercy—
And to walk humbly with his God.”
Born, November 3, 1701. Died without issue.
August 27, 1760.
