Note 519 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
[This monument, after a design by Hammatt Billings, was originally intended to be one hundred and fifty feet high; but it was reduced nearly one-half, as the necessary subscriptions failed. It bears a colossal figure of Faith, and four other typical figures surrounding the base, not all of which are yet in place. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1857, p. 283.—Ed.]
