THE liberality of the prefent age has at length opened the noble fabric of St Paul's Cathedral for the reception of monuments for those who have eminently diftinguished themfelves by their virtues or their talents, or by fervices rendered to their country. It has long been a general complaint that Wefminster Abbey is over-crowded; and lefs difcrimination has been exercifed in the felection of thofe for whom these memorials have been admitted. From the regulations laid down by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's, this laft fault is not likely to be repeated in their Cathedral. Circumftances make it evident that Sir Christopher Wren forefaw that the noble pile he was erecting would become at fome period a new Temple of Fame, and he accordingly conftructed it to answer that end. Of the two eminent perfons who firft are admitted into it, Mr HowARD and Dr JOHN SON, each is entitled to the honour done to his memory. The ftatue of Dr Johnson exhibits grandeur and elevation of mind, fuch as pofterity will expect to find the characteristics of this fublime Moralift. The workmanship confers honour on Mr Bacon; and the following Epitaph by Dr Parr, if it adds little, will not detract from the reputation of that eminent scholar. SAMUELI JOHNSON, Scriptorum.
