Note 12 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
The following very scholar-like inscription for the English burial-ground, his countrymen owe to our accomplished and excellent friend, Mr. Thomas Lance of Lima:—
Degentes per hæc loca Britanni, auspice suo Consule Belford Hinton Wilson, gratissimoque hujus Reipublicæ concessu et beneficio, è communibus copiis, Regiâ, censente Senatu, auctis munificentiâ, hoc Cœmeterium struxerunt, sacraveruntque, A. D. ——: ut, posthac, suæ gentis qui procul à patriâ, longinquâ hâc scilicet, sed amicissimâ terrâ, supremum obierint diem, spe fideque patrum innixi, in his sedibus requiescant.
